A good, someone else recognises the issue!

Yes, and some commands take -M for master-server, and others -s
and others -h for host ... 

Some take -d and -e for start and end date and some take
-s for start date

I can see where they were coming from too...

They originally employed dispersed teams of ppl to write the code and
kept them in locked, separate rooms!

I still like Netbackup though! (on the whole ...)
