Hi All,

I have NetBackup 4.5 running on Solaris 8.
Very often I see hundreds of these processes:
   root  3330  1450  0.0  0.0 Z   Dec_31 13424-15:06:21
   root 17028  1450  0.0  0.0 Z   Dec_31 13424-15:06:21
   root 25460  1450  0.0  0.0 Z   Dec_31 13424-15:06:21
   root 12161  1450  0.0  0.0 Z   Dec_31 13424-15:06:21
   root   855  1450  0.0  0.0 Z   Dec_31 13424-15:06:21

~$ps -ef | grep Dec_ | wc -l
    394
-----------
While I see them there are only few drives mounted out total 16
and there are 300 backups queued.
ppid 1450:
root  1450     1  0.1  0.3 S   Sep_28  4-18:48:57 
/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/bpsched -mainempty

What are those?
