[Veritas-bu] File -> image (backupid) conversion?

Nope - bpimmedia is images on media, not files in images.  "-mediaid" is
expecting a tape or disk-storage unit filesystem as the parameter.

Best you can probably do is use bpimage to list all the images for the time
frame, policy, & client you're interested in, then use bpflist and the
"-backupid" option & parse the output of that command to identify which
image contains a particular file.

Your other choice is to parse the ".f" files in the ../netbackup/db/images
directories directly.

I do have to wonder why it's important to find which particular image
contains a file.  Are you looking for which tape contains a file?  If so,
check out the bpimagelist command and the "-media" option.

Hi list,

I have been trying to find out to which image a file was backed using
bpimmedia(1M) command but always get "no entity was found" message. I
tried GUI, the same thing. I am pretty sure the file I specified in the
command was backed up and I can use bplist(1M) to list it. Here is the
command I used to do the conversion:

  # bpimmedia -L \
        -policy Dev_DB \
        -client devdb2 \
        -d 02/06/2005 00:00:00 \
        -e 02/06/2005 11:59:59 \
        -mediaid /u01/ora/INST/indx01.dbf

Did I miss anything in the command? Or are there any other ways to do
this?

Thanks,

Rongsheng
