I do a number of things to generate failed backups (when I'm testing reporting 
products, for instance).  In NBU, I do things like this:

1. Create a Disk STU, then delete its directory
2. Delete all the free tapes in a tape library and mark the partial ones full 
(to create 96s)
3. Create funky host file entries so the hostnames of clients/servers resolve 
incorrectly, causing a failed backup
4. From the command line, you can also manually run policies and schedules that 
don't exist.

Hope that helps.
