I've had these when there was a NFS client issue.
NetBackup tries to parse a directory, and some NFS server is no longer
available, so it hangs.  The Error 41 is the Timeout waiting for data to be
sent back from the client.  Clear the NFS hang, clear the issue.  The client
never complained about the NFS issue for some reason, normally you would see
such errors in /var/adm/messages, but just trying to list the contents of
the directory showed the hang.  'ls -l'

Just a thought, something to look into.

I've seen this in the past but have never been able to track the cause.  The
error I usually receive is a 41.

		I imagine our setup here is somewhat 'typical' for a large
environemnt.
		100Meg systems feeding 1Gig networks to a L700 tape silo.

		A few times a week, I have NetBackup fail a backup with an
error 4x code
		(some kind of transient network error). These always seem to
be on NT
		machines (proportionally, there are more NT than Unix, so it
might not be
		directly related).

		Looking at the network itself, I cannot find any switches
reporting errors
		between the client and the server. Netbackup On sebsequent
attempts,
		NetBackup is successfull in completing the backup.

		Has anyone else seen this behaviour?
