This usually means that there were no backups of the specified client during
the window you specified (-s [start time]). Or more specifically there are
no images in the image database for the specified client. Try moving your
start time to an earlier time.

I started playing around with bplist but kept getting "EXIT STATUS 227:  no
entity was found"  I tried it again with what you used and got the same
results.  Any ideas?

Good Golly! I don't think they know what they are asking for.. I had
auditors come around once... once.. They asked for similar information. I
gave them the output of bplist -C client_name -R  -b -s mm/dd/yyyy hh:mm:ss 

 

Note I gave them the output of this for just one client.. they never
bothered me again :-) 

 

Note: The output will be excessive unless you use the -R option and limit
the number of subdirectories listed. But hey.. if they want it all.. give it
to 'em!

I forgot to add, they would like to see actual directories /  mount points
that got backed up also.  The e-mails and solutions so far are great,
thanks.

I have looked in the archives and couldn't find what I needed so here's my
problem / issue.  Our environment is NetBackup 4.5 fp6 HP-ux 11.i. 

The auditors are out and about here and I need to get them a log of last
weeks backup activity by policy.  My problem is that I always check last
nights backups via the gui and take care of any problems then.  The auditors
don't understand why we don't keep reams of paper with old logs around.
Anyway is there a command to get this info by policy and date?

Thanks in advance.
