What is the NDMP host?  All netbackup can do is believe the host when it
says it sent everything.  If the host screws up and says everything's
okay, then you'll get a status 0.

For instance, on a Netapp, I'd take a look at /vol/vol0/etc/log/backup
and also the messages file and see if anything suspicious pops out from
the time of the backup.
