Actually, 73 is a bpstart_notify failure (non 0 return).

74 is a bpstart_notify timeout.

75 is a bpend_notify timeout.  
There is no bpend_notify equivalent to the 73.

 

See below

Status 74 is when the bpstart does not finish with a 0 or does not
finish before the timeout value.

 

Data is not backed up if a 74 occurs.

What happens if bpstart_notify exits with a status greater than 0? Will
this cause the NetBackup job to fail? If not, is there a way to get the
NetBackup job to fail if the bpstart_notify script fails?

 

Thanks in advanced!
