The -create_db_info only creates an entry in the mediaDB on the server
you are importing from and identifies for you the images found on the
media.  The next phase actually imports the images, but you can "cherry
pick" which ones you import.  You don't have to import EVERYTHING if you
choose not to.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Importing questions

My Master Server crashed this past weekend. I have successfully restored
it, but I need to import the backups that occured after the last catalog
backup.
If I run bpimport -create_db_info -id <media_id> -L, will that tell me
what is on the tape, but not import anything?
I have tried it on several tapes, but got no output at all and wanted to
verify I was running the correct command for the info I want to see.

Environment is 3.4, patch level 3A, all Windows 2000 SP4 servers in an
SSO environment.
(Yes, we are upgrading to 4.5 in the coming weeks =) ).

Thanks for the help!
