    Schedule "-" is a control job. Its task i life is to monitor the child jobs

    DAILY-FULL vs Daily-Application-Backup

    If a database job does not specify a policy  and schedule (see page 90 in the NBU Oracle admin guide), Netbackup will try to match the best policy using "Daily-Application-Backup". My recommendation is to hunt those jobs down and ensure they specify policy/schedule.

    See both the Netbackup Oracle Administrators guide as well as Netbackup SQL Administrators guide.

    A backup image will be kept by Netbackup if it exit with status code 0. So in the case where you have 5 data streams from a Oracle database and one of them fail you will have 4 data stream taking up space in Netbackup.

    I highly recommend Netbackup Oracle Intelligent Policies. Much easier than script based backups
