==== Convert timestamp to a human readable format ====
# bpdbm -ctime 1441252847
1441252847 = Thu Sep 03 06:00:47 2015
or use GNU awk
# echo 1441252847 | gawk '{ print strftime("%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S",$0) }'

==== Resolve Status Codes ====
# bperror -S 96
unable to allocate new media for backup, storage unit has none available
The NetBackup Resource Broker (nbrb) did not allocate a new volume for backups. This error indicates that the storage unit has no more volumes available in the volume pool that is specified for this backup. Note that NetBackup does not change storage units during the backup.
==== Show Status Code Recommendations ====
# bperror -S 96 -r
unable to allocate new media for backup, storage unit has none available
The NetBackup Resource Broker (nbrb) did not allocate a new volume for backups. This error indicates that the storage unit has no more volumes available in the volume pool that is specified for this backup. Note that NetBackup does not change storage units during the backup.
Check the NetBackup Problems report to determine the storage unit that is out of media.
* If the storage unit is a robot with empty slots, add more volumes (remember to specify the correct volume pool).
* If there are no empty slots, move some media to nonrobotic and then add new volumes.

The mds unified logging files (OID 143) usually show the NetBackup media selection process.

==== Expire Tape ====
# bpexpdate -m L30000 -d 0 -force
Media L30000 is due to expire at 01/01/1970 01:00:00
Are you sure that the data on this media is not critical to
your business, and you are sure you want to delete L30000 y/n (n)?

==== Tape Usage ====
Get approximate numbers about tape usage of a library.
# bpmedialist -l | awk 'BEGIN{sum=0;tcount=0;} { if($12!=9 && $11!=0){sum+=$9; tcount++;} } END { print "total capacity:",sum/1024/1024/1024, "TB"; prin count; pro_tape_GB=sum/tcount/1024/1024; print "average data per tape:",pro_tape_GB, "GB"; print "compression ratio:", pro_tape_GB/400 }'
total capacity: 370.917 TB
average data per tape: 566.05 GB
compression ratio: 1.41512
pro_tape_GB/400: divided by 400 because of LTO3.
==== Find by Pattern in Backups ====
The following example searches for the pattern *tmp* in all files and directories which are backuped by FULL Schedules within the last two weeks.
# nbfindfile -c myClient0 -p "*tmp*" -st FULL -s_ut $(($(truss /usr/bin/date 2>&1 | awk -F"=" '/^time/{print $2}' | tr -d ' ')-(60*60*24*14)))

==== Manage exclude_list of UNIX/Linux clients from the server ====
If there is a client like "myClient" and the exclude_list have to be edited but only access to the master server is available, then copy the exclude_list to the master server (local file may be called "myClient-exclude_list"):
# bpgetconfig -e myClient-exclude_list myClient
The copied file is a normal text file. Entries can be added or removed. This file can be sent back to the server:
# bpsetconfig -e myClient-exclude_list -h myClient
==== Search in all Backups of a Client ====
=== Windows ===
# nbfindfile -c myClient0 -only_files -p "*.mdf" -s_ut 0 -l -pt MS-Windows
