These sound a lot like interview questions.  Most of these questions can be answered by reading the Admin guides for NetBackup.  Something anyone working with the product should do. 

For the small few that can't be found in the guides you can find answers pretty easily on-line.

If this is an interview - some of your questions have their own admin guide, such as #13 - Netbackup tuning.  Your questions pretty much encompass at least several years worth of NBU experience and learning.
