Hi and thanks for the help.

As Francis mentioned I can also just use nsrinfo like this:

nsrinfo -N <path_to_file> <client_name>

If the file is in the index, it will list up the savetime of the ssid that 
contains the file.

Hello;

In these link you have a example of perl script to search in index:

http://www.adsm.org/lists/html/Networker/2009-07/msg00101.html
++++++++++++++
I stripped out some corporate specific info from here... please let me know
if you have a run time problem with this.  This script is more for finding a
single file in a client's history and recovering it.

Usages:
   searchclient.pl someclient "\.mp3$" "\.txt"

Result:
# ./search_client.pl unixclient '\.txt$' '\.mp3$'
Searching for strings(s): \.txt$ \.mp3$...

Processing 1247533332 (Mon Jul 13 20:02:12 2009) [0/443] ...

1247533332: /local/.../fontconfig-user.txt

1247533332: /local/.../fontconfig-devel.TXT
...
Recovery commands:

     $arguments = " -q group=Archive ";
   } else {
     push @searchstrings,$arg;

         $tapes = `mminfo -r volume $tapequery`;
         $messages .= "recover -t $epoch -a \"$_\"";

           $tapes =~ s/\n/ /g;
           $messages .= "  [" . $tapes . "offline]";
         }
         $messages .= "\n";
         $found = 0;
       }
     } else {
       print "$epoch: $_\n";
     }
   }
   close(IN);
   print "Searched $results files.\n";
