    Here you are ...

    Not the neastest way, but need to dash out ...

     

    bpmedialist -l |awk '{print $1}' |while read TAPE
    do
    bpimmedia -mediaid $TAPE |grep IMAGE |awk '{print $4}' |while read LINE
    do
    DATE=$(echo $LINE |awk -F_ '{print $2}' |awk '{print $1}')
    REALDATE=$(bpdbm -ctime $DATE |awk -F= '{print $2}')
    echo $TAPE $LINE $REALDATE
    done
    done

     

    Gives this output ...

is to run the command over several iterations for each individual day, but that could also be undesirable if you're looking at a long period of time!!

I did have a script that did something similar, have to check when I'm back at work tomorrow (it probably does contain the odd 'awk' tho'!)

Again, as I'm not at work & can't remember the exact format of them, are there any of the "Reports" that cover what you want? They can be exported to a s/sheet....I think, or is that somewhere else?

....hmmm, could be....

Media Written Report
The Media Written report identifies volumes that were used for backups within the specified time period.  
# cd /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd
# ./bpimagelist -A -media [-d <start_date> <start_time> -e <end_date> <end_time>]

no apparent client option here, but maybe there is a drop-down available on the GUI. Maybe worth checking all the media-type reports out?
