The server.log under NetBackupDB will tell you when the Netbackup database was last stopped and started

On windows you can also see when the services was stopped/started in the event logs, if the logs contains entries far enough back.

The standard questions: Have you checked: 1) What has changed. 2) The manual 3) If there are any tech notes or VOX posts regarding the issue

Thank you so much Michael.  I was about to change directory to /usr/openv/db/log and review the server.log file and determine when NetBackup had been restarted down to the last time it was restarted.

Best Regards.

If unix./ linux - bpps gives an indications:

<snip>

Looking at processes that run all the time, eg. nbemm, bpdbm etc I see here that NBU restarted on my test system on Oct 29th.

If I restart NBU, we see that the system was restarted today (it shows time for today), then just the date the next day onwards.

Thank you also mpp - this too was a good way to determine start time of the most recent NetBackup restart.
