[Veritas-bu] Netbackup error status 196

As the amount of data you back-up grows the length of the jobs running on
the drives does likewise.  It's most likely that you have more backup jobs
running than tape drives available so some get queued to be run when the
tape drives are finished running other jobs.  If, by the time these other
jobs can have access to the tape drive, their backup windows - when they're
allowed to start - are closed, you will get status 196 errors.

Probably not the clearest of explanations (it's early here!), but I hope it
helps.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Netbackup error status 196


I have set-up and configured netbackup 3.4g on Solaris 2.6 using L280 juke
boxes, The backups have been running successfully for some time. I have
started to get nightly failures on several servers. 1: (196) client backup
was not attempted because backup window closed. 

Any help would be grateful. I can't find this error on any web sites.
