The problem with using NetBackup to report on this data is that it only
reports on the throughput at the completion of a job.  If you have a job
that spans multiple hours, you then get to decide how you want to report 
on that. Don't forget that a job can (and usually does) switch tape
drives when it needs to change tapes.  It's a non-trivial problem, and
interpreting the data at the end won't be easy either - you have to
recognize that the tape usually isn't the bottleneck anyway.

sar might be your best bet though.
