    Here's the UNIX Commands Guide:

    VERITAS NetBackup (tm) 5.1 Command Reference for UNIX
     http://symantec.com/docs/TECH32163

    Here's everything else:

    Listing of Veritas NetBackup (tm) 5.1 Manuals and links to the respective technotes
     http://symantec.com/docs/TECH50516

    bpsyncinfo isn't documented there, though.

    You probably know more about this than me.  :)  The only TechNote I could find was this incredibly old 3.4 (!) one:

    How to configure and backup NetBackup catalogs from command line.

    Maybe you need an explicit -M <master> command line switch?

    With cold catalogs long gone, I don't even have a way to test this command to see if I can help you determine output.  So honestly, I have no idea. 

    Good luck!  ;-)
