I wrote a script which would create a filelist, to be used by bparchive 
during archiving.  The idea was that users would dump old journal logs 
etc..that needed to be kept, but not on disk.  I ran into 2 problems.
1.  bparchive worked fine, but it not only removed files, but the directory 
structure as well.  To overcome this I used find to create a list of all 
the files I wanted backed up and removed. this worked great
2.  Later after some testing with simple files/directories I began 
implementation of the script on some "not crucuial" files.  This is where I 
run into problems.  The backup seems to work fine, as does the removal of 
files.  However I run into problems trying to recover the data from 
tape.  Using the bp interface (and the restore, archive commands) I never 
can seem to find the archived files...am I just missing something 
altogather ?.
I can  see the images on tape (using reports), am I going to have to 
recover this manually ? Does NBU handle archived data differently somehow ?
I am doing all of this using NBU 3.4.1 running in a Solaris (2.6-2.8) 
environment.
Comments, clues will be appreciated
