In /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/

Run

bpimagelist -A -media -d mm/dd/yyyy HH:MM:SS -e mm/dd/yyyy HH:MM:SS

If the image has already expired....then Mike's suggestion works best.

One way might be something like:

bperror -U -d 01/05/04 -e 01/05/04 | more

and browse for something like:

01/05/2004 hh:mm:ss yourserver yourclient  begin writing backup id
                    yourclient_tttttttttt, copy 1, fragment 1, to media
id
                    mmmmmm on drive index 1

I suppose it depends how many tapes you normally write in a day, but if,
like us,
it's only one or a few, it shouldn't be hard to spot.

Mike Ellwood
