Cause
The system attempted to start one forest operation (backup, restore, remove, clear, etc.) while another, exclusive operation was already in progress. For example, starting a new backup while a previous backup is still in progress.
Response
Resolution depends upon the context of the overlapping operations. If you need assistance determining the underlying cause and have a current maintenance contract with MarkLogic, you can contact MarkLogic Technical Support.
