I am sure you are right, and pretty certain in most places this would
work, but maybe not for everyone (me included).
Does not mean I disagree, its just my own view from the use of NBU 3.4

Well I see the objective in one client per policy if it is unique (ie:

Yes, the beloved bpgp is gone from NetBackup 6.5.
Worse, restoring bpgp from a 6.0 backup does not help.
The restored bpgp fails with a core dump.
Oh whatever are we to do?
I'll miss you, bpgp.
You helped me out so much in the past.

I'm looking into whether or not this is true. If it is, it's time for an email

Some see it as a security hole, and I think that's ridiculous. Anybody who is
root/Administrator on a NetBackup master can push any file to any client any

Does anyone know how I can recalculate what a date would be if I added 558
days to it?
For instance,
That's because it's the GNU date command which allows offsets of all
varieties.
gdate --date=now -7 days +%m/%d/%Y %H:%M:%S
The GNU commands are compiled for most OS's (I have a Sol 8 version) and
I just soft-linked gdate to the GNU date command so I can call system
date with date and GNU date
If you need to script it, check out Steffen Beyer's date calculation suite:

I am a little fuzzy on your exact plan of action.
