Hi Michael.
Thanks for the reply.
I had tried the bpimagelist command, but it does not give you
information concerning specific copies and retention levels.
I agree this should be the command to use, but I have run into a couple
of problems when I attempt to use the bpimagelist command.
1) If I run the bpimagelist command with a "-L" and "-rl <#>" argument,
only the primary copy retention level is used for the query. The command
will not pick up the "copies" that match the "bpimagelist -client
LAXM1BAPPS63 -policy NT-Server -d 10/01/2005 -e 10/07/2005.
If the "-rl <#>" is omitted, the copy information comes in, but it is in
a format which would be difficult to pull out the needed values.
2) If I run the bpimagelist command with a "-l", I get:
# bpimagelist -client LAXM1BAPPS63 -policy NT-Server -d 10/01/2005 -e
10/07/2005 -l

I can "grep" the "FRAG 2" to get the second copy information, but the
Retention Level field is not shown here. I could try to calculate using
the ctime vaule (1128438229) but again that would be somewhat difficult
to calculate the retention level value. From what I can tell the
"*NULL*" value is where the retention level number should be, but
apparently Veritas (Symantec) doesn't want to show the value.
I think my best bet may be to use the "bpimmedia" command (shown below):
# bpimmedia -client LAXM1BAPPS63 -policy NT-Server -d 10/01/2005 -e
10/07/2005

I think I can grep out "FRAG 2" and then awk out the last value on the
line (which is the retention level 4). In this case, I should be able to
confirm that a 2nd copy with a retention level of 4 exists.
I would think there would be an easier way, but haven't been able to
find one. If anyone has a method, I would really appreciate the help.
Thanks again.
Mitch

Hello Mitch
Have you tried to use bpimagelist ?
