Lots of things, I think. Take a look at the problems log at the time.
The detailed status in the Admin Console also often shows enough
information. Mine usually fail with bptm and/or bpbrm.
My Windows clients particularly like to fail full backups w/status code
174. :-(
Most common seems to be ...
Critical bptm(pid=xxx) attempted to write xx gigabytes (x bytes) it
is not a multiple of 512
Some have hinted v5.x is better in this respect (both server & all
clients in a policy).
By all means, give Veritas support a call!
cheers, wayne
