I recently ran into an issue with Netbackup 6.5.1 and wanted to make a mental note about this. I was perplexed as to why when I looked through the restore gui one of my systems was only displaying the weekly full backups but not the incremental ones.
While this caused some confusion, the backups always finished successfully and never once did I suspect that I would not be able to retrieve data. Upon looking in the /usr/openv/netbackup/db/images directory I found the directory that correlated to my system name but it was listed twice. Once with like this "Systemname" and then "systemname". Notice the capital letter? The java gui and for that matter, the client interface, ignores the capital letter and just pulls the information from the lower case.
In my incremental policy, the client name was listed with the capital and even though my backups were being accomplished, I still could not "view" the results.
I opened a case with Veritas (Symantec) and will post any results here.

If you want to fix this, you need to manipulate the files that contain the error and port all references to the incorrect name to the new name. The capital letters will cause issues so be aware!
