The amount of data received from the client was not a multiple of 512. It is 
impossible that this is valid data, so the backup
fails.

Check /usr/openv/netbackup/NET_BUFFER_SZ on media server and client to ensure 
they match. Check netstat -ian to check for
collisions/Ierrs/Oerrs. Check network hardware for failures.
