You can monitor the bytes written column with bpdbjobs. If the job is active and the value does not change something is probably wrong. Except for control jobs (e.g. Oracle RMAN).

[quote="Haskins, Steve"]Selwyn, I like this one. 7. Notifying admin when backups are taking an excessive amount of time to complete. I have experienced jobs that have mounted a tape and then nothing is written to them and for some reason there is no timeout as there isn't a mount issue. Canceling the job gets the tape unmounted but as usual Netbackup wants to use the same tape so I have to freeze it before restarting the job. Usually I have to manually eject these tapes. Is there a better way to be notified than manually monitoring the backup jobs??
