If the log directories are in place, go to /usr/openv/netbackup/logs.  Look for entries in directories like bpcd, bprd, and bptm.  Hopefully you will find some clues in there.  If these directories are not here, create them and then stop/start NetBackup, and run the jobs again.
 
I had a similar issue on mine where I ran a job from the master for a media server.  The media server went into mount request but did not show up on the master.  I had to go to the media server to find the issue and confirm the mount request after putting in more tapes.  There isn't much in your current post about the environment (OS, master/media servers, policy type that hangs, tape libraries,etc) so I don't know what may apply.
 
Hope this helps.

Veritas Netbackup 5.1

Need guidance on how to check / troubleshoot and solve this problem.

I trigger a backup and it shows :

- started process bpbrm (pid=13602)
- connecting
- connected; connect time 0:00:00

Then that's it. Sometimes it goes from Connecting to Mounting but nothing happens. No data written.
Wait for hours and finally I need to kill the job and it end with error code 150.

Please advice.   ^_^ Thanks in advance.
