Problem

NDMP backup ends with status 99

Error Message

Status 99
'RPC error: ERROR: BAD ENV OP'

Cause

Bad path in the policy's "Backup Selections" tab.
 

The policy had:

/nasstorage/vol03/.snapshot/daily.xxx_xxxx_xxx

 

The correct path was:

/nasstorage/vol03/.snapshot/daily.xxx__xxxx__xxx

(Please note the two successive / uninterrupted underscores in the snapshotname path)

Solution

The pathname is incorrectly formatted -- NDMP pathnames require two underscores in the path.
 

To specify the backup path for a snapshot, use the following format:
/<vservername>/<volumename>/.snapshot/<snapshotname>

For example:
/nasstorage/vol03/.snapshot/daily.xxx__xxxx__xxx   

(Please note the two successive / uninterrupted underscores in the snapshotname path)

Applies To

NetBackup 8.0
Windows Server 2008 R2
Filer: NetApp with OnTap 8.2P5 C-Mode.
