EMC Networker? You can find all the help for EMC Networker for DB2 here: https://www.commvault.com
No error messages there. EMC Networker is an old and neglected product,
the artist formerly known as Legato Networker. Even EMC advises using
Avamar or DD Boost instead of the Networker.

Disclosure:
I am an employee of Commvault Systems, a competing backup suite.

Thanks Mladen for the heads up.

I encountered this in db2diag.log.

MESSAGE : Backup terminated.

Based on the technote - http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg1IC85508, though the diag messages are not similar.

Eventual justification for the cause of the backup failure is similar.

==============
This error is more likely to happen using the DEDUP_DEVICE
option on the backup and in certain circumstances due to not
having any data to backup in the tablespace.
===============

I have few temp tablespaces which are of only 1 page size and empty. So, I can assume that the issue is due to empty tablespaces.

If there is any other point I missed or overlooked, feel free to share here.

Thanks,
Shivraj
