About the jobs database
NetBackup uses the bpdbjobs -clean command to periodically delete the jobs that are done.
By default, the bpdbjobs process deletes all completed jobs that are more than three days old. By default, the bpdbjobs process retains more recent done jobs until the three-day retention period expires.
To keep jobs in the jobs database longer than the default of three days, you must change the default value.
If the bprd NetBackup Request Daemon is active, bprd starts the bpdbjobs process automatically when it performs other cleanup tasks. The process starts the first time bprd wakes up after midnight. The automatic startups occur regardless of whether you choose to run bpdbjobs at other times by using cron or alternate methods.
The bpdbjobs -clean is located in the following directory:
On Windows: install_path\NetBackup\bin\admincmd\bpdbjobs -clean
On UNIX: /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/bpdbjobs -clean
