I kinda go with David.    It isn't clear from the information given
whether the backup has actually failed.

Are there additional DCL commands after the backup command??

The "Set NOON" should definitely allow the BACKUP command to complete,
(unless it gets a "-F-", I think).    The "On ERROR then
CONTINUE" (must be immediately before the Backup command, it is only
good for "the next" command), will stop the script from exiting, and
will continue with the next DCL command, however if the BACKUP command
did terminate because of an error, then your backup will be
incomplete.

You might consider putting in a "Set Verify" to see what actually
happens after the Backup error is thrown.
