Shalom,

Knowing the version of Veritas netbackup would be helpful in providing an answer.

Hello,

Some of many ideas...

a) Run simple swlist:

swlist |egrep -i "Veritas|NetBackup"

b) Look for files like:

$NETBCKDIR/netbackup/bp.conf
$NETBCKDIR/netbackup/version
...

$NETBCKDIR is typically /usr/openv.

c) Run commands like:

bpps -a
bpminlicense -list_keys
get_license_key -L keys
check_coverage
bperror -problems -hoursago 24

Cheers,

Enable logs if no already enabled and check the log entires at /usr/openv/logs This will let you know its running and creaeing what you intended to backup.
