Please do not remove the pempersist file without direction from Technical support.  The technote is in the process of being pulled from the website.
 
If you remove pempersist when jobs are canceled/suspended prior to recycling NetBackup, it is possible to break the parent and child job associations and cause missed/skipped backups.
 
If you are skipping backups I would take a look at whether or not you are using frequency based backups vs. calendar.  With frequency based backups, if your frequency is set to one week, you must BOTH have an open window and a minimum of a week must have elapsed since the last backup.  If this is the case - change the frequency to once every 5 days and see if that helps.
 
 
Is this 5.x or 6.0?
 
Have you removed and recreated the policy (don't copy)?
 
If this is 6.0 - run the following:
 
/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/nbpemreq -tables screen > /tmp/tables.out
 
Take a look at the tables.out file generated and locate the policy in question.  When is this full backup due to run?

Whenever I hear schedules not running on 6.0, I think of clearing out
the pempersist file as the first step.
