The error strig below, is almost always due to a problem at the Media
Management layer (NBU). Have you set up the dbclient log directory on your
media server? If not, create the directory in /opt/openv/netbackup/logs, and
change perms to 777. Rerun the backup, and see what the dbclient log has to
say. Your bptm log may also have some information.
