Why not set up an archive schedule?  That way, the files can be archived and
NetBackup will ensure that they are on tape before removing.

If one is to create a script to ensure that the files on the filesystem are
backed upon before removing them, what is the best data-store model for
doing so?

Obviously, if you have > 1,000,000 files in the catalog and you need to
check each of those, you do not want to bplist -B -C -R 999999
/path/to/file/1.txt for each file.  However, you do not want to grep "1"
one_gigabyte_catalog.txt either as there is really too much overhead in
either case.

I have a few ideas that involves neither of these, but I was wondering if
anyone out there had already done something similar to this that was high
performance?

Justin.
