Barbara,

Here is an example of how to use bplist:

bplist -C insert your client name
-R recursive list 99 levels deep
-s mm/dd/yy hh:mm start time (can skip hr-min)
-e mm/dd/yy hh:mm end time (ditto)
-k class you want to list (optional)
/ start at root to create list
> output.txt can omit to print to screen

EXAMPLE: bplist -C frog -R -s 03/05/99 / > output.txt

If you gave your bplist command a start time of a week ago it would list all
files for all backups over the last week and would possibly write the same
files and directory structure over and over. If you give bplist a specific
class to list and also request output from only the previous night's backup
you should receive managable output.

You can all tell it to look for a specific directory and associated files.
For example:

/usr/oracle/db would list any oracle files in the db directory for you.

Well I hope that helps.

Barbara,

I would use the bplist command. There is a man page.

Regards,

Recently a new user asked me for a list of files getting backed up on his NT
server from the Solaris master server.  I as a backup admin can view the
files that are getting backed up, but he requested a hard copy of a
point-in-time backup of his files.

details:
NetBackup 3.4 Data Center
Solaris 2.6 master and media server
Windows 2000 Server Client

I can provide more details if necessary.

Thank you,

Barbara Hswe
