bpbackupdb runs on your media server probably because 
that's where its tape lives.  You can run it on your 
master as well, you simply need to indicate the 
location of the files to backup


$STOPBPRD #to keep any new jobs from being submitted
#CHECK FOR ACTIVE BACKUPS
if no active backups or archives, then:
bpbackupdb -tpath $TPATH -ev $MEDID -nodbpaths \
/usr/openv/netbackup/db \
/usr/openv/netbackup/var \
/usr/openv/volmgr/database \
MEDIASRVR:/usr/openv/netbackup/db \
MEDIASRVR:/usr/openv/netbackup/var \
MEDIASRVR:/usr/openv/volmgr/database 
$STARTBPRD

If you include something like that in your dupe scripts 
on your master, you should be good to go!
