Tony,

bpimagelist does a query of the image database (../netbackup/db/images), and
that database consists of successful backup jobs (exit status 0 or 1). This
will give you info such as size of backup, expiration date, etc. Do
bpimagelist -L for a longer listing which will tell you what most of the
information is. bpimagelist -l will give you a nice "parsable" format (awk,
sed, perl-friendly).

bperror -backstat (check out bperror -help for more info) will query the
error database (../netbackup/db/error) and that will show you ALL backup
jobs and their exit status. This also useful to determine running times of
backups.

Hope all of that helps.

Regards,

Brian
