I whipped this up real quick. I'd like to work in until, but we aren't 
that busy on fridays for backups.

#!/bin/bash
CMD=`/opt/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/bpdbjobs |grep Active |tail +2 
|wc -l`
TOADDR=someonewhocares AT blah DOT com

if [ $CMD = 0 ];then
         echo "Please ignore backup related errors. DB transfer 
operation is being performed" |/bin/mailx -s "please ignore errors" 
clientsys AT ticketmaster DOT com
         /bin/rm /backups/bin/log
         echo "Stopping Backups:" >>log
         echo >>log
         /etc/init.d/S77netbackup stop 2>&1 >>log
         echo >>log
         echo "Backing up to filer:" >>log
         echo >>log
         /usr/bin/rsync -avrC --delete /opt/openv/netbackup/db/ 
/anotherplace/server/directory/ 2>&1 >> log
         echo >>log
         echo "Starting Backups:" >>log
         echo >>log
         /etc/init.d/S77netbackup start 2>&1 >>log
         /bin/cat log |/bin/mailx -s "CatalogDB Transfer from 
`/bin/hostname` to netapp" $TOADDR
