Full file list extracted from NetBackup Catalogue

Does anyone know if it is possible to generate an extracted list of all the files that have been backed up ever?  I am looking to retire my NBU system, but want to identify items to be restored and moved to archive before I undertake the decom.  Going through the restore procedure is a prohibitively slow process.

Any advice is appreciated.

    Hi cayde-6 

    See the example of bpflist here :

    https://www.veritas.com/support/en_US/article.100003944

    You need to script this of cause.

    Both bplist and bpflis can be a bit tricky to get working, without the "golden qualifiers" who seems to be -rl 999  -option GET_ALL_FILES

    bpflist -client $CLIENT_NAME -backupid $ID -d ${DATE} -rl 999  -option GET_ALL_FILES
