Are you deleting the "Backup Policy" and then adding the "Automatic Full
Backup"? If so, both are required for a scheduled backup.
Here is some more information on this from a previous post of mine.
"The retention for the Backup Policy is what retains the image in the
NetBackup catalog. A window for the Default Policy is required to do a
backup, whether initiated from NetBackup's scheduler or otherwise. Automatic
schedules are only used to initiate the job from within NetBackup. The
retention for automatic schedules determines the amount of time that it keeps
a record of the scheduled job to compare it to the frequency to determine if
another scheduled job is due. In other words, have a retention that is set
longer than the schedule, otherwise, NetBackup will "forget" when it last ran
the job and will run the scheduled job whether or not it has reached the full
frequency."
