A backup job returned the error (166)

Backup job has failed due to expiration of named pipe wait time. Please make sure your original backup job had not been created by dbabatch (onbar)

Reason:

The agent handles two kinds of backup jobs; one from Arcserve Backup (user) and another from dbabatch (ON-Bar). Users cannot reschedule dbabatch jobs, even though they appear in the Arcserve Backup job queue.

Action:

Use the Arcserve Backup Manager to submit your backup job.

Check if any previous ON-Bar jobs have stopped responding.
