Netbackup Questions

I have 2 questions maybe those netbackup experts and gurus in the house can help.

Firstly, is there a particular location maybe under /usr/openv where I can find a diretory or file which contains all the backup policy information, so lets say If someone were to physically delete all the netbackup policies from jnbSA GUI, is there some way to bring it back by restoring such a file/directory?

My second question, is there any command to run that will generate a detailed report of all the backup policies along with other information, like storage units, policy type, volume pools, schedule windows etc ....

I need it the info for some documentation which I'm doing. It will be a big pain for me if I have to manually go thru each policy to write down this info.

thanx in advance

gfs2_convert(8) 					      System Manager's Manual						   gfs2_convert(8)

NAME
gfs2_convert - Convert a GFS1 filesystem to GFS2 SYNOPSIS
gfs2_convert [OPTION]... DEVICE DESCRIPTION
gfs2_convert is used to convert a filesystem from GFS1 to GFS2. Do not attempt to convert a GFS1 filesystem which is not clean - the process of conversion will reinitialise the journals. We highly recommend that fsck.gfs is run successfully before attempting to convert a filesystem. Many of the on-disk structures are identical between GFS1 and GFS2, so the conversion process updates the journals, a few items of incompatible metadata (mostly indirect pointers and inodes) and adds the per-node directories required by the gfs2meta filesystem. The conversion process is performed in-place and does not require any extra disk space so that it is possible to successfully convert a GFS1 filesystem that is completely full. Always ensure you have a complete backup of the data on any filesystem before starting the conversion process. OPTIONS
-h Help. This prints out the proper command line usage syntax. -q Quiet. Print less information while running. -n No to all questions. -V Print program Version information only. Print out the current version name. -v Verbose operation. Print more information while running. -y Yes to all questions. By specifying this option, gfs2_convert will not prompt before making changes. EXAMPLE
gfs2_convert /dev/vg0/lvol0 This will convert the Global File System on the block device "/dev/vg0/lvol0" to gfs2 format. gfs2_convert(8)
