    On BAR, uncheck "Show NetBackup History as a Timeline" in [View] Menu.
    You can see backups by list instead of "orbs".

    This list does not have "Backup ID", but you can check "Backup Time" of each backups.
    Backup ID is in form of "client_name"_"backup_time_seconds_from_epoch", you can identify each backups by "Backup Time".

    If you want to restore backups written in a given tape, search images with media id from [NetBackup Management]-[Catalog], write down backup time of each backups on notepad. Then, kick BAR and select backup by backup time from list.

The Orbs are just a symbol - they have a different colour and pattern accoring to the backup type (Full, Inc, Database etc.)

When you are not showing the timeline if you hover your mouse over them the date and time of the backup appears

Good luck with your challenge!
