One way to do this is build your own exclusion lists based on your 
particular environment -- I run a "problems" script each morning that 
will list out the errors from the last 24hours. In it you can find the 
files that give your Status 1 jobs.  My script is built around bperror as:

/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/bperror -U -problems -hoursago 24
