Here you are, everything you need to know to set up logs ...
(Big thanks to Marianne who very kindly x2 checked this for me and gave her seal of approval. It's not quite finished as I want to add a few words about volmgr/debug logs ...)

Mr Fox Trot, that' too much to cover on a forum, you really need to go on training.
See the Symantec Training link on the top right of this page under Links.

Further to the outstanding answers ,,,
1. What are the Daily Roles and Responsibility for a Netbackup Admin (For All Tech- Levels).
Impossible question - it depends on how well designed your backup system is. For a good system, probably not much, for a bad system, probably a lot.
However, that answer is not particularly helpful. As a minimum, you would check the Activity monitor for failed jobs, and, also the all log entries report.
2. I would like to under stand the Netbackup Process flow and how netbackup works and how error logs are analysed.

My three pet hates ...
1) Systems that do not have the NBU paths to the binaries entered in the OS PATH variable. I see people spending more time type the 'long' path each time to run a command than they do actually fixing the issue.
2) People not being able to set up logs.
If you are unfamiliar, fair enough - but there are plenty of TNs available explaing how to do it (they are linked in the article above).
All that should be required when logs are requested is the following.
Please provide
(media) bptm, bpbrm, and (client) bpcd at verbose 5 (+ general 2 if win)
(master) bpdbm at ver 5, and 116, 117, 118 at 6 and 6.
That is it, there is sufficient info above to send in the logs requested ... there should be no need for a 3 page essay on the subject, and then a demand for Webex. I can count on one hand, the number of times in 5 years where the above is the only information I have had to give ...
Next issue, people send ( for example) the bptm log from tue and the bpbrm log from wed.
If the problem happened on tue, what good is the log from wed.
Logs must ALWAYS cover 1. the same time period and 2. the time period in which the issue happened.
For the vx logs, send them in raw format - 1. they are smaller, 2. If BL /Engineering get involved, they will want the raw format.
3) Know when NBU is not involved.
For many Network issues (certainly status 24) it is 99% certainly it is not NBU. No matter how many times 'you' ask, the answer will be the same.
For many tape/ library issues, the issue will be outside NBU also.
