I don't recognize the command.  What version are you running. 

I'd look ahead with this:

bpschedreq:
   -terminate -jobid <jobid>
   -suspend -jobid <jobid>
   [-M <master_server,...,master_server>]
   -tables
   -read_stunits
   -read_stu_config
   -predict datetime [-L]
   -verbose level
      format for datetime is mm/dd/yyyy HH:MM:SS

note, the datetime format.  It only predicts for a specific hour/min/sec,
you might be defaulting to 00:00:00 by leaving this off.

-M

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Job Prediction Accuracy?


I was trying to figure out why my recently implemented backups of an
Exchange server did not occur over the weekend.  I made sure that the
Policies were active - yes.  I checked the schedule to be valid - yes.
The Information Store policy had a job priority of 1; I've upped it to 4
(like some other jobs).  The Mailbox policy had a job priority of 0;
I've changed it to a 4 as well.  But when I run
D:\Program Files\VERITAS\NetBackup\bin\admincmd>nbpemreq.exe -predict
-date 03/06/2006

the Exchange backups are not listed at all.  So, is nbpemreq.exe a)
broken; b) fine, but something else is amiss; c) the wrong cmd-line tool
to use for this.

Thanks for any suggestions,
Jason
