NetBackup with an overcomplicated set up??!   Never!!!  :-)

Yeah, NBUs choice of what to automatically populate or not is insane.
One thing to remember along those lines that will drive you nuts is
almost all the client information is NOT polled from anywhere.  The
Hardware and OS entries are simply picked by the admin setting up a
policy.  If the client system changes OS, you'll never know.  

Take almost everything NBU tells you about your clients with a grain of
salt.  :-(
