Simon,
The article you
attached is actually a very good idea for those sites that have a large amount
of catalog data. We used this method successfully until we migrated to
LTO-3 drives which gave us the breathing room to allow for all of the catalog
data on a single tape.

Vanessa,
Based on this thread,
it looks like this is not the 1st time that this has happened in your
environment. http://www.adsm.org/forum/showthread.php?t=13467
Does the Catalog backup
fail immediately or after running for a while (as in previous
thread)? What type of media is this being
written to? Based on the size of your catalog (240GB),
it's possible that your catalog is too large to fit on a single tape (via
bpbackupdb) and that may be causing this error.
If you are still
running NBU 5.x you may have to implement the multi-tape catalog backup
method ( or catalog archiving) until the environment is upgraded to 6.x for hot
catalog backups.

failing
Hello All,
I'm facing
an issue with DB backup for a couple days.
It's
failing with 84 , but I've changed lots of different tapes and the problem
persists. It doesn't seem to be a tape problem.
I've
found the following at logs:
1218619015
1 2 16 ott-nb3.cisco.com 628290 0 0
*NULL* bpbackupdb cannot write image to /tmp/sync_B25284, Error 0
1218619017
1 2 16 ott-nb3.cisco.com 628290 0 0
*NULL* bpbackupdb NB database backup to media id B25284
FAILED
Could be
something related to DataBase size ?
It's size is aprox. 240Gb
(usr/openv/netbackup/db)
Does
anyone have an idea on what can be done to fix this issue
?
Thanks
