Re: [Veritas-bu] Can I find out when a policy first ran?

You can also use bpimagelist to show you the oldest active backup in the catalogue. Although it doesn't give you the date for when the policy was first created, it will tell you how far back you can possibly go with that policy.

bpimagelist -d 01/01/1970 -policy <policy_name> -U

This is where the policies live.
You can look here and if you can see the difference between creation and modification you might be able to tell.

Me I make a point of when creating a new policy I put a date in that active field so I know when I started using it.

We are running, NBU 6.5.4 on HP-UX 11-31. Is there a way to find out when a policy first started running?
