Re my last email - perhaps a cron job on the master would do the trick, if you 
use "vmoprcmd -h <win2k hostname>" - this command should give you a list of 
pending requests on the windows machine. You could grep out and mail the media 
ID.

Hope this helps.

Hi Jeff

I've had this query before. Unfortunately there's no easy way of doing this is 
NetBackup. I've seen someone use a cron job on the UNIX media server that 
parses 
the output from vmoprcmd, perhaps you could do a similiar thing on the Windows 
box.

Cheers

James
