Don't know about the Unix version but in the NT version you can deactivate 
each policy which will keep it from doing anything until you reactivate 
them.

Hope this helps.

[Veritas-bu] Seeking painless way to stop automatic jobs from launching






Is there an easy way to prevent NetBackup (5.0 MP1 in my case, Solaris 
master, mixed media servers) from launching any backup jobs but retaining 
all communication channels needed to perform administrative and 
configuration tasks between the master server and media servers?
 
I've often read and periodically used "terminate the request daemon" 
accomplishes this, but with the master not listening to the bprd socket, 
media and administrative servers can't get to first base.
 
It seems there ought to be something easier than making each policy such 
that it won't launch.
 
(Basically, I have some configuration issues I want to fix and I'm now 
running my backup window. I don't want anything to launch until I'm done 
with my work.)
