NetBackup status code: 638

Message: invalid arguments specified

Explanation: The bpsynth command fails with this error code if incorrect arguments were specified.

Recommended Action: Refer to the bpsynth command line arguments (by using -help) for the correct argument specification. If the synthetic backup job was started manually by the command line, correct the arguments to bpsynth and rerun the job. If the synthetic backup job was scheduled or started with the console, ensure that the bpsynth and the nbjm binaries match the installed NetBackup version.
