MSDP media write error (84)
Table: Media write error causes describes solutions to the media write errors that may occur during backups, duplication, or replication.
Also see the following subsections for descriptions of more complicated solutions:
Table: Media write error causes
Client-side deduplication can fail if the client cannot resolve the host name of the server. More specifically, the error can occur if the storage server was configured with a short name and the client tries to resolve a fully qualified domain name
To determine which name the client uses for the storage server, examine the deduplication host configuration file on the client.
See About the MSDP host configuration file.
To fix this problem, configure your network environment so that all permutations of the storage server name resolve.
Veritas recommends that you use fully qualified domain names.
See Use fully qualified domain names.
Note:
NetBackup supports
storage on NetBackup 5000 series appliances only.A duplication job to PureDisk storage may fail for a large number of small files. This failure may occur if the storage unit maximum fragment is at the default setting.
Messages similar to the following may appear in the NetBackup job details:

Messages similar to the following also may appear in a log file on the PureDisk content router that processed the duplication operation. The log file resides in a directory that corresponds to the connection to the content router for the duplication operation. The name of the directory is the NetBackup storage server IP address, and it resides in the /Storage/log/spoold
directory on the content router.

To resolve this problem, reduce the fragment size of the NetBackup storage unit that represents the PureDisk storage. Depending on the source storage content, you may have to reduce the fragment size significantly.
