[Veritas-bu] How can I list the files from the NBU Catalog if I know the

All:

Our environment, HP-UX 11-31 currently running one master & 1 media server on NetBackup 6.5.2. We are running mostly unix / Linux backups and a couple windows b/u’s. Along with an HP Library we are using a VTL on a DataDomain 880.

My problem is that a few of our VTL tapes got deleted and re-added on the Data Domain which obviously caused all the data on the tapes to be deleted. NetBackup still thinks they are valid tapes and they show up in the catalog. I’ve got the barcodes of the tapes and want to list off the files that were on the tapes. I’ve tried running a bpimmedia to get the image from the tape and then a bpflist command to list what’s in the image. The bpflist come back with “no entity was found” I can’t find a man page or much documentation on the bpflist command so I’m flying blind on this command. Below is what I’m getting:

# bpimmedia -mediaid D10315 -l

IMAGE hqhp3 8 hqhp3_1321085674 dbn-pkg01-db-bcv-dd 0 dbn-pkg01-db-bcv-dd-df 0 3 15 2147483647 0 0

no entity was found

Has anyone successfully used the bpflist command and if so, is there any doc on the options for bpflist? Does anyone have any other ideas of how or if I can get a list of files from the catalog images if the tapes themselves are no longer around?

Thanks in advance…
