I have a client that I made offline in the master client attibutes, but the backup was still running.  I have double checked everything and it all looks correct.

[johnsnod]$ sudo /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/bpclient -client xxxxxx01 -L

I picked the last year in the calendar drop down from the GUI 2044, so did not think about it.  It was not unti I started to write this up that I saw the problem and got it fixed,

I changed the date to 12/31/2015 and this is how it looks now.

It appears to be 2038 date problem, I was able to make it April 2037 and it was also fine.  While I like the date aspect of the offline, I wish there was an option to keep it offline until I uncheck the box.  I.E. date = N/A

Thanks for sharing.

Getting this feature was a MAJOR accomplishment a couple of years back...
