Hello,
When I went through the SOX process for the first time I given this type
of request. The answer was we do not have the data.... I extended the
amount of time the logs were kept around in the Netbackup config (6
months) to meet the auditor's requirements so we could provide this
information in the future. Check with the auditor and see if they can
provide an exception with a fix for future requests.

Yup, that's what I do (sort of) for one of my daily reports. There are
some gotchas.
If you do incrementals of filesystems that have *no* updates (in my
case, I saw this on some /boot filesystems), then there may be no new
data, and nothing to pull from bpflist. If you're working only from the
catalog, then there's no record that a backup was done on that date of
the filesystem (because no data was sent to tape).
However without that nit, and assuming standard or NDMP backups of
normal filesystems (no agents, no catalog backups), then the first file
from bpflist is the backup selection that was passed to it.
Sometimes the "index" on the first line is not '1'. I'm not sure why
that is, but all my reports run well assuming that the first FILES line
is the selection.

Absolutely.
