When browse the images you are telling NBU that it is a user archive you are
looking for, right?

  Subject: [Veritas-bu] Restoring Archived data


  I wrote a script which would create a filelist, to be used by bparchive
during archiving.  The idea was that users would dump old journal logs
etc..that needed to be kept, but not on disk.  I ran into 2 problems.
  1.  bparchive worked fine, but it not only removed files, but the
directory structure as well.  To overcome this I used find to create a list
of all the files I wanted backed up and removed. this worked great
  2.  Later after some testing with simple files/directories I began
implementation of the script on some "not crucuial" files.  This is where I
run into problems.  The backup seems to work fine, as does the removal of
files.  However I run into problems trying to recover the data from tape.
Using the bp interface (and the restore, archive commands) I never can seem
to find the archived files...am I just missing something altogather ?.
  I can  see the images on tape (using reports), am I going to have to
recover this manually ? Does NBU handle archived data differently somehow ?
  I am doing all of this using NBU 3.4.1 running in a Solaris (2.6-2.8)
environment.
  Comments, clues will be appreciated
