    The 'parent' job with the automatic backup schedule will always show no data. This is perfectly normal.

    The 'Default-Application-Backup' schedule is the one doing actual backups. So, yes, this is where you will see 'number of files' and 'kilobytes'.

    You can read up about the different schedule types in NetBackup for Oracle Administrator's Guide  

    Most customers create separate policies when different backup schedules are needed for agent backups.

    Apologies for misreading your post, but I still cannot find any support for 'Windows Server 8' in any of the NBU Compatibility Guides. http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH59978

I don't see any errors in your screenshot.  That's the way it works in NetBackup - 0 bytes for the parent task and bytes shown for each UBackup subtask.

Try using the 'Create a Policy' Wizard to setup policy including the required schedules.  Takes just a few seconds; not labor-intensive at all.
