NDMP_MAX_CONTEXT_REACHED

If context creation fails during an NDMP backup job, the following event is created: NDMP_MAX_CONTEXT_REACHED    Unable to create context(snapshot) on file server [^1%s] for path  [^2%s], maybe max context(snapshot) limit reached.

Symptoms

NDMP backup jobs cannot be restarted.

Causes

Context is needed to resume a backup job from a previous check-point, so without context, backup jobs cannot be restarted.

Resolution

Instead of continuing with a backup job that cannot be restarted, you can fail the backup job for a path without context. The backup job is attempted again when the next backup job runs.

• To the MediaAgent computer, add the sFailWithoutContext additional setting as shown in the following table:
