Figure 97 Status for Failed Copy Job
The error is logged in the copy policy section. In our example, the copy has failed because the target
tape drive was offline.
There are a number of reasons why copy job may fail.
•
The copy job is open by another user, thus locking it, and preventing the backup job from
acquiring an exclusive lock on the job.
•
The user lacks the appropriate permissions to the folder where the copy job resides, or the copy
job itself (rare).
•
The copy job is running (this can happen, if multiple devices are selected for backup and copy).
