    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
