David,

Interesting. that was a good piece of information. I have been running the
Netbackup DB backup through Cron and occasionally, when people run manual
backups,  it used to run the backup job  along with the DB backup.

If that is not a normal operation, then I would like to know how do I
suspend the request daemon 

Thanks,
Shyam.

Patrick, 

The primary difference is this.

When NBU runs it via its automatic schedule, it causes bprd to suspend its 
ability to submit any jobs to the queue (actually it suspends its ability to

wake-up bpsched that looks for something to do).  So if no backup jobs are 
running then your database will be in a quieted state suitable for a proper 
backup.  

When you run it manually, bprd is not suspended and jobs may potentially be 
submitted during the backup putting it in a questionable state.  You will
have 
to manually suspend the request daemon.
