If what you really want to know is recoverability, I'd use
'bpimagelist'.  That will take a date, host, and policy and give you the
items in the catalog that correspond, and it will give you the media it
is on.

If you inform Netbackup about vaulting, then 'vmquery' will give you
vault details if you pass in a piece of media.  Athough I don't keep the
date it actaully went offsite in there.

Now if someone is being a pain, they might want backup information, even
if it has since expired.  If that's true, then there's no more catalog
information.  You'd have to go to backup logs (or an old copy of the
catalog) for that.
