NetBackup status code: 6000

Message: The provided path is not allowed.

Explanation: A NetBackup host displays this code if it is not allowed to access the provided path.

Recommended Action: It is recommended using the NetBackup default paths for progress logs or rename file options; for example, use the user_ops folder. If you cannot use the NetBackup default path in your setup, you should add custom paths to the NetBackup configuration. For more information on how to add a custom path, see the BPCD_ALLOWED_PATH option for NetBackup servers and clients section in the NetBackup Administrator's Guide, Volume I.
