Netbackup Status Code 198 (no active policies contain schedules of the requested type for this client)

Type of backup "user backup" and "user archive" is used to allow the media server to run its own backup policy from the original server. But sometimes the Status 198 (no active policies contain schedules of the requested type for this client) raised. Its meant if a user backup or archive has been requested, and this client is not in a policy that has a user backup or archive schedule.


From the simple assistance of Netbackup conlose, found, these error could be solved by :

  • Determine if the client is in any policy that has a schedule of the appropriate type (either user backup or archive).
  • If the client is in such a policy, check the general policy attributes to verify that the policy is set to active.
  • If the client is not in such a policy, either add a schedule of the appropriate type to an existing policy that has this client or create a new policy that has this client and a schedule of the appropriate type.
  • Run the NetBackup Configuration Validation Utility (NCVU) -conf on the master server. Note the policy checks in section five.

Today, I got this error, and I found if the backup policy is not activated yet. After I re-activate the backup policy form the master server, the backup is running well again.
