I inherited a messy netbackup environment(5.1 MP5). There is a tonne of
inactive policies(more than hundred). Before I nuke them I would like to
find out when was the last time it was executed. Any easy way to find this ?
I can look at the catalog one by one, but it will take forever.

Majority of my Windows hosts get Status code 1 and I am looking at the error

it be safely excluded ?
