Barney is the name of my VCB proxy.
bpplinfo -Q give extended options which you have obviously found, but I cant see in there the obvious one to set the parameter for "perform snapshot backup". This stuff is not in the 6.5 base docs and cant see updates to the command in the interim update docs.
bpplinfo -Q USAGE: bpplinfo [-verbose] [-help] [-Q] [-snapshot_list_all] [-template] [-clienttype|-t|-ct class_type] [-concurrent_data flag] [-rcmd "restore command"] [-bcmd "backup command"] [-fragsize max_fragment_size] [-proxyclient host_name] [-secinfo flag] [-fi flag (0=False,1=True)] [-bc backup_copy_value] [-classjobs max_jobs(0=unlimited)] [-enable_pfi flag (0=False,1=True)] [-offhost_backup flag (0=False,1=True)] [-use_alt_client flag (0=False,1=True) -alt_client_name "alternate client name"] [ -use_virtual_machine 0 | -use_virtual_machine 1 -virt_mach_proxy_name "virtual machine proxy name" | -use_virtual_machine 2 -hyperv_server "Hyper-V server name" ] [-use_data_mover flag (0=False,1=True) -data_mover_type 1 | 2 | 3 (1=TPC,2=MSC,3=NAS)] [-snapshot_method "method" [-snapshot_method_args "keyword=value"]] [-snapshot_list_policy] [-snapshot_list_all_for_client -M master -vfm_client_name client ]
You can see what the options set within the policy attributes are in the file %install_path%/netbackup/db/class/<policy_name>/info
Interestingly there is nothing about perform snapshot backups. Is it switched on as a dependency for another configurable option.?

(Of course there is the GUI to set all this.)
