I copy the db/images/<clientname> to /tmp
and then use the cat_convert utility to convert
from binary to ascii.  There are times I get requests
to restore a file but the requestor isn't sure of the
path/filename or case sensitivity.  I miss the ascii 
for these type of requests but I like the binary 
for day to day advantages.  I don't mind converting and
I also feel better about copying to /tmp so as not to
mess up my catalog.

When I was using netbackup 3.4 I used to grep the images files to find 
details of files backed up. 

Now I'm using 4.5fp6 I have to use bpflist.  But this is very slow 
(taking 1 hour to list one filesystem vs 30secs to zcat a 3.4 image file). 

Are there any options that will improve the speed?  (I'm currently using 
"bpflist -backupid zhary004_1083362635 -client zhary004 -d 01/01/1970".  
Is there some better way of obtaining the raw image data?  Are there 
some bp.conf entries that will improve the speed?
