Environment

Cause

A 404 is returned by Operations (Ops) Manager because the job "backup-prepare" no longer exists in PAS 2.3. The "backup-prepare" job is now renamed to "backup_restore" in PAS 2.3.

Resolution

Pivotal recommends updating your automation scripts to account for the job instance name change.
