    " waiting to terminate bptm and bpdm processess " means you have backups that are running.
    More than just processes need to be terminated - port connections need to be terminated.
    The termination instructions need to be sent to clients as well and all of this takes time.
     

    Best to kill or suspend all running backups before stopping NBU to ensure clean termination of server and client processes and unload of tape drives (if backups are written to tape).
    Killing bptm and bpdm processes may leave the environment in a bit of a mess with port connections not closed and tapes left in drives.
