    Status 227 means 'for the criteria that you have specified, no backup images are found'. Carefully look at the options you specify. Any typo error with client name, backup type, date range, etc. will cause status 227.

    backups may fail with said error when catalog volume is at or near capacity.

    check the volume free space where catalog is residing...

    @Refiq -what marianne said is also correct. syntex should be proper when you executing bplist

    1. If syntex is correct and still you are not getting the result then try the IP address instead of hostname in the command

    2. The real fix is to be able to have consistent name resolution – forward and reverse – on both the client and master.


    Also for using the bplist and its syntex refer below link...

    bplist is a very powerful utility, but is very picky with it's arguments.

    Try this command, it works :

    bplist -B -t 13 -l -b -R -s 06/25/2009 /D/

    Forgetting the -R (recursive) option very often result in status 227.  I assume you are on windows, if not you need to change the -t option.

    Deepak, when client name is used with bplist, it has to match client name used in policy EXACTLY. The folder name matching the client name is created under the images folder. If client was backed up using FQDN, and short name or IP address is used with bplist, it WILL result in 227.

    as Nicolai pointed out, forgetting -R is most common reason
    incorrect Policy Type or Pathname are others
