Re: [Veritas-bu] bpflist not working in NBU 6.0 MP4?

This is on UNIX.

I’m not sure what you would get without flags – perhaps the Windows version defaults to current host? On UNIX typing “bpflist” all by itself returns “no entity”.

The backup is run on our master server and backups filesystems mounted on the master server (that is to say it is the client as well as the master).

In the past (5.1) I found I could specify the backupid (which IMO should have been enough since it is unique) but also had to specify –d (start date/time) and –e (end date/time) even with the backupid.

I should mention I’ve tried it without the backupid as well – specifying policy, date range, client etc… - no combination I’ve done has resulted in output other than “no entity”.

I got the backup IDs by using the bpimmedia and bpimagelist commands (and verified they both gave the same IDs.).

This is a multi-stream (but NOT multiplex) backup so there are 3 backup IDs. None of the 3 backup IDs returned by bpimmedia and bpimagelist work.

Running it without command flags returns output for me. What does BackupID normally expect? JobID? Something else?

With JobID, I get a no entity as well.

All on Win2K3 NBU 6.0MP4.

Did something change in bpflist?

Last time I used in 5.1 all I had to specify was backupid, start time and end time.

Now it keeps telling me “no entity” even though I’ve given it the above. Adding master, client, policy etc… has not helped. Always keeps saying no entity.

The images are not expired (I just used them for a tape restore) and bpimmedia shows the backup IDs. It is only bpflist that doesn’t seem to recognize that the backups exist.

Is there an alternate way to get the list of files (into a text file) so I can compare it with the restored files? The restore burped at the very end so I’m trying to verify the files it said it missed are the only ones it missed so I can’t use the restore log as my source of what was backed up.
