NDMP Backup failure- HELP

Hello,
We have a problem with our NDMP backups. The jobs are failing with status code 99. The same jobs were running fine earlier. No changes have been made which would cause this failure. Below is the detailed status.

03/07/2010 16:28:22 - started process bpbrm (5936)

NDMP backup failure(99)
Netbackup master server : 6.5.4
Netapp filer version: 7.3.1
Master server acts as medias server for NDMP backups.
Could any one please help resolving this issue?

  • e.g. in /vol/vol0/etc/log/ backup
    That may indicate an issue with the actual dump from the filers point of view.
    ***EDIT***
    Altho' having looked at one of our failed jobs it might not (there was actually more info in Job Details!) - this was caused by dodgy tape:
    dmp Thu May 27 19:24:20 BST /vol/vol1/qtree(1) Tape_close (ndmp)
    dmp Thu May 27 19:24:20 BST /vol/vol1/qtree(1) Abort (152382 MB)
