Girish,
A file read error is what it appears, however (bpbkar -nocont /
> /dev/null) completes with status 0.
Here is where it gets strange. I've also tried creating a storage unit that
uses /dev/null as it's basic disk pool. I've then set the backup policy to
use this storage unit. This backup fails with the same error as if I use a
storage unit and disk pool pointing to our data domain.
Thanks,
--

If I am understanding it correctly, an error occurred while reading a file.

That is strange. See if there is any storage (volume manager or disk I/O)
related error/fault reported at the time of bpbkar failure.
Also, you can try bpbkar null test - just to ensure that data can be read
without any random read failures:
bpbkar -nocont <failed_to_backup_path> > /dev/null
Hope that helps,
