NetBackup™ for Cloud Object Store Administrator's Guide

Recovery error: "Invalid parameter specified"

Explanation

Happens when the API contains values for alternateDirectoryLocation and addPrefix attributes. The API does not support one of the specified input parameters.

Workaround

Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2 supports only the AlternateDirectoryLocation attribute and thus the addPrefix attribute must be empty in the API request.

Note:

This error does not appear on the Activity Monitor. For more details, refer to NetBackup API documentation.
