NetBackup status code: 242

Message: operation would cause an illegal duplication

Explanation: If the request is processed, it causes a duplicate entry (for example, in the catalog or the configuration database). A duplicate catalog entry is usually due to a mistake in the specification of media IDs for NetBackup catalog backups.

Recommended Action: Check the error reports to determine the specific duplication that would occur. Correct the settings for the operation and retry it.
