Possible to list out the contents of a tape
Hi,
I tasked to generate a list of files that are stored in a tape so that they can document them down.
Wonder any easy ways to do it. So far I tried a few commands to no avail.
bplist - probably the closest but I got no "entity found". But it works for more recent backups. Hence I think it only work for more recent backup.
So far I can only use the GUI and print screen the contents.
Both Master and client are Windows.
Thanks.

- Here i found something more for you
Details:
1. Identify the client name and the date and time of the images on a tape
UNIX: # /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/bpimmedia -L -mediaid <Media-ID>
WINDOWS: <Install path>\NetBackup\bin\admincmd\bpimmedia -L -mediaid <Media-ID>
Alternately, this information can be obtained from an "images on media" report using the NetBackup (tm) GUI.
2. Decode the time from the 10-digit time (at the end of the backup ID)
UNIX: # /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/bpdbm -ctime <10-digit ctime>
WINDOWS: <Install path>\NetBackup\bin\bpdbm -ctime <10-digit ctime>
3. Run the bplist command
UNIX: # /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/bplist -C <client-name> -R -s <start-time> -e <end-time>
WINDOWS: <Install path\NetBackup\bin\bplist -C <client-name> -R -s <start-time> -e <end-time>
Example:
# cd /usr/openv/netbackup/bin
# admincmd/bpimmedia -L -mediaid VOL001
