    As far as Daily backups are concerned, my experience has been that a manual backup indeed affects the scheduled attempts. Calendar and Frequency.

    Look at Figure 15-16 Schedule selection overview in NBU Admin Guide I:

    Find last backup data -> For calendar based schedules, add days until next run day -> ....

     

    When any of the following events occurs, NetBackup recalculates which schedule
    to run next in a policy:
    ■ A backup job finishes.

the directory path to this command is <install_path>\NetBackup\bin\admincmd\

 

 

nbpemreq -predict_all -date mm/dd/yyyy HH:MM:SS

 

This is Helps determine when a policy is to be run. The displayed information is based on the current time and a future date. Time is indicated by mm/dd/yyyy HH:MM:SS 

This option also helps determine why a policy has not run. The difference between the options is the output format and the amount of data presented.It shows the backups that are eligible to run, but it does not indicate which

jobs are to run at a specific time. It checks for an open window for the backup,but does not reflect any exclude dates that might be set for the schedule.

 

For example

nbpemreq -predict -date 09/23/2010 12:00:00
Predicted work assuming no job run between now and Thu Sep 23 12:00:00 2010

to include dates/times

# nbpemreq -due -date 09/23/2010 12:00:00

-due

Provides data about the clients or policies that are scheduled to run by the time specified. The data that is displayed is based on the current time and afuture date. Time is indicated bymm/dd/yyyy HH:MM:SS

 

Then run the following command:

nbpemreq –updatepolicies

 

please restart the netbackup services
