  • Never got that question before :-).  But I think I found a way

    Look at field 51 of the output from the bpimagelist command. If field 51 return a long HEX number it indicate a SLP duplicated image. If the field i *NULL* is mean it a non SLP image.

    # bpimagelist -backupid hostx.acme.com_1276442653 | grep IMAGE | awk '{print $51 }'

    #  bpimagelist -backupid hosty.acme.com_1275894770 | grep IMAGE | awk '{print $51 }'
    *NULL*

  • ...but I will add that you could probably use any of the final four fields, which are all related to SLP.  :)

    More info at:

    DOCUMENTATION: What are the different fields in "bpimagelist -l" output?

    (I guess we should update this one for 7.0 real soon now...)
