Message: client timed out waiting for bpstart_notify to complete

Explanation: The bpstart_notify script on the client takes too long.

Recommended Action: Try to speed up the bpstart_notify script or set the BPSTART_TIMEOUT on the server to a value that is larger than the default. Set BPSTART_TIMEOUT in the bp.conf file on a UNIX or Linux NetBackup server. On a Windows NetBackup server, use Host Properties to set Backup Start Notify Timeout.

See "Using the Host Properties window" in the Troubleshooting Guide.
