Often times the Media / Master server encounters and error and exits but cant notify the Client (they don't even attempt to) It sounds like you have at least some logs enabled on the Media server since you mention that you reviewed the Bpbrm log. So review the Media Server logs to see if you can get more information. What I often have seen is a network disconnect between the Client and the Media Server. This stops the backup as far as Bpbrm is concerned but Bpbkar does not know about it, he just keeps churning through data until he is done.
If this only happens on single client then it maybe something like a bad port, Nic, Driver ect. If it only happens on one Policy but other policies for that same client fail then you have a mystery on your hands. If you can post the relevant logs so we can browse them a bit (Bpbrm, Bpbkar, Bptm to start I would think)
mkdir /usr/openv/netbackup/logs/bpbkar on the client, add VERBOSE = 5
to the bp.conf and watch the logs, also you can make a lot of logging
directories on the server as well and tail them when the problematic
client is backing up/etc.
