what platform is your master server on? If its Unix, I have a small
shell script that I use to generate a report that details the tapes in
primary and secondary copies. Hope this helps...

**********start script*************
#!/bin/sh
#### Inputs required 1. start date 2. end date 3. client name and 4. backup type
### Examples..
##sudo tapelist.sh 09/09/04 09/10/04 client1 Incremental
##sudo tapelist.sh 09/09/04 09/10/04 client1 Full
##sudo tapelist.sh 06/01/04 09/10/04 client1 Archive

bpimagelist -U -d $1 -e $2 -client $3 -sl $4 -idonly |awk '{print $8}'
>imagelist
for i in `cat imagelist|sort`
do
echo
echo Backup ID:  $i

bpimagelist -U -backupid $i
#echo 
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
echo List of tapes that contain Image $i
##bpimagelist -l -backupid $i |tail +3 |awk '{print $9;}'|sort -u
echo Primary Copy:
bpimagelist -l -backupid $i |grep "FRAG 1" |awk '{print $9;}'|sort -u
echo 
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
echo Duplicate Copy:
bpimagelist -l -backupid $i |grep "FRAG 2" |awk '{print $9;}'|sort -u
echo 
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
echo Top Level Directory list in this Image
bpflist -U -d $1  -client $3 -backupid $i -option ONLY_DIRS|sed
's/.*P=\(.*\)\ D=.*/\1/;'|egrep '^\/'|sed 1q
echo 
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
done
******** end script***************

 This gives me a output like:

sudo ./tapelist2.sh 04/06/05 04/06/05 client Archive

Backup ID: client_1112813750
Backed Up         Expires       Files       KB  C  Sched Type   Policy
