Hi,

as i want to be able to get lots of infos about my backups system i made heavy 
use of bpdbjobs to see what jobs are running and the like.
i found that bpdbjobs is a resource-hog and far too slow for me. So i started 
to find out more about the stuff in the /usr/openv/netbackup/db/jobs/ 
direcory and now have a rudimentary perl-script that can show me some infos 
about the jobs (like, which are running, queued or done, which tape do they 
use, ...). 
I have some problems with restore jobs and some other stuff.

Does anyone know more about the JOB_STATE and JOB_TYPE variables?
Seems as if the State depends on the type, for backups i know types 0-3, and 
as far as i know type 0 are backups and type 2 are recovers.. but what are 
type 1? Archives?

Any infos about the jobfiles are welcome.
Also i am willing to share my scripts with anyone interested.

Oh, i use Netbackup Datacenter 3.4.1

Regards
Arne
