To fit the format listed below, you can use the "Catalog" section in the
GUI (Action = Verify) to search on policies/clients and get a list of
images and tapes that were used for each backup.

To accomplish this via the command line use:

/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/bpverify -local -PD -client <hostname>
-X -s <start utime> -e <end utime> -primary

/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/bpverify -local -PD -client nbuclient
-X -s 1195106400 -e 1195538400 -primary

This will print out:   UTIME    Policy  Sched  BackupID   Media_Server
Media_Used  Copy_Number  Is_Primary?

NOTE:  Depending on the usage, some bpverify commands will mount tapes,
but the one listed above only reads from the catalog.  See the man page
for details.

Not quite, no.

Not if it can be avoided. If possible, I'd like not to do
everything by myself - especially not with such a high
price product as NetBackup...

Well... Yes. But not in an easily digestable way. There's
IMO *WAY* too much output (for what I'm looking for).

Anyway, that also seems to be the wrong way to get the
information, IMO. I'd like to know, which tapes were used
by a backup. I don't care about which backups are on which
tape. Yes, it's sort of the same question, but only sort
of. Suppose you've got a backup which spans multiple tapes;
with "Images on Media", you have to check all the media to
figure out, if a certain backup is on them. Wrong way
around, in my opinion.

Yes, I have. I didn't find anything useful there.

Well, if it were some easily accessible "one click" information,
then it would be very easily repetable in the GUI as well.

Thanks. I'll certainly have a look at that.
