That's certainly not the normal NetBackup format.  Normally files are in the ctime directories, have names just like the .f file and end in .f.Z.  NetBackup uses the native compress on UNIX.

It'd be interesting to see what's in the files you list below.  I'd also be curious if a bpdbm -consistency check would report them as errors.

FWIW, it looks like some of your STREAMS files have been mucked with too.  Notice the old dates on some of those files.  I'm pretty sure you only need the STREAMS and STREAMS.lck files.  Be careful changing those, if you remove them, your next incremental may become a full (So only clean them up when your next backup is scheduled to be a full).

Did I get an enthusiastic operator compressing stuff or is this part of
the catalog compression algorithm (the XXX.tar.gz) files on top?

The directory is far too big for the number of files I think we're
tracking here.
