I don't think you want to do it this way.  Best thing is to use NetBackup 
commands to pull the information out of the catalog, instead of looking 
directly at the catalog files.  This way your script will probably work 
with version upgrades, no matter what they do to the structure of the 
catalog.

Also, you'll find that with the binary catalog format in 4.5, some of the 
files are binary and some are still ascii.  I think the .f file is still 
ascii and contains all of the data if it is for a small image, but if it 
is for an image over a certain size, the .f file only contains a small 
amount of information and pointers to the data which now resides in binary 
format within an additional subdirectory.

Hello,

Does anyone know what is the format for entries files.f file has?
files.f file is 
/usr/openv/netbackup/db/imags/clientname/ctime/classname_ctime_schedule.f
eg:
/usr/openv/netbackup/db/images/clientabc/1060000000/clientabc_1060373641_INCR.f
It got entry like this:
227 0 10 48 137404 1 0 0 22282246 /sbclocal/ 16877 bin bin 0 1060354959 
1059578173 1059578173

Here I know the column 10 is file name, 14 is size, 12:13 user:group,  14 
is backup time in ctime. Other entries, does anyone have idea?

I am trying to look information using which my script can findout what 
file is on what tape.

Thanks,

Mani Vasagan
