If I create a new policy (and obviously a new schedule) the job will always run a Monthly backup first or a Weekly or whatever Full schedule you have that contains the longest retention. If I do what you suggested below, is it going to try to run a Full backup? If so, it will still work but I'll wait until tomorrow when Friday's backups would be Full backups anyway.

Yup - like I said, your schedules will start over just like it was a new policy so you'll get fulls.

The quick hack that *might* work would be to shut NetBackup down, rename /usr/openv/netbackup/db/images/$CLIENT/STREAMS to something else, and restart NetBackup. It will then reset the timers for that client - your schedules will start over. Alternatively, you could edit the STREAMS file and put in a timestamp you like - that's even more of a hack and if you break it, you get to keep both pieces.
