Ages ago I wrote a package for netbackup on the Big Brother system. It tacked a bunch of stuff and told you when the backup tapes could recycled and such. But all our stuff was on Sun equipment. I think your Idea of loading the binaries on a nix box may be a good way. Let me see if I can find my work. It used to be on deadcat long time ago.

We are finally migrating out of Tivoli to Symantec's Netbackup. We currently have a backup tab for each client which would report some stats - number of files, number of bytes, and status.
Looking at doing something similar, however, it seems that most of the status commands are only available to be run on the netbackup master or media servers.
I've found the following nagios script: http://exchange.nagios.org/components/com_mtree/attachment.php?link_id=2566&...
But in order not to reinvent the wheel, does anyone have something similar? Further, our master and media servers are running windows, which makes scripting a little more challenging.
If not, if I install the media server bits on a linux box (without registering it on the netbackup domain) would this be enough to query the DB and produce reports? If so, perl or bash would do it.
Thanks in advance...
