It is probably not going to happen with the current database performance,
but this would normally accomplish the task:

select b.hl_name, b.ll_name from backups b where b.node_name='your node' and
b.state=inactive_version and (b.hl_name || b.ll_name) not in (select
a.hl_name || a.ll_name from backups a where a.node_name='your node' and
a.state=active_version)

I tried it on a single node and it did not find what I was looking for.  I
am going to turn in a problem record on it because it should work.

Ok. This one is teasing me...puzzeling...
trying to get, from the backups table files that ONLY are inactive (if the
file has an active copy, I don't want to have this in the output). have
tried...myself... anyone? have tried state<>state, but this doesn't work....
