veritas netbackup .img tools

Where do you see .img files and why do you need to open them?

Guess this can't do any harm ...

** BUT **

DO NOT attempt to modify these files, you will instantly lose your backups, the steps are 'unsupported' and there will be nothing that can be done to fix them.

Reading them , as below, will do no harm.

They are tar files, they can be opened with the netbackup tar command.

Eg.

i did a backup for my data along time ago with veritas and i move out from place to place and its was so long i lost my veritas cd and the sn. 

but i have a vb program i want to extract it it was in the desktop directory when i toke this backup, the backup is .img with .inf folder on a DVD

kindly note i'm using win 7

thanks

can i use netbackup with this command on windows 7

Never tried it, tar -tvf is safe to run, just give it a go, command should be in ...netbackup\bin directory.

If it doesn't work, you could copy the file(s) to a Unix server taht has NBU on it (into a temp dir) and run the command from there.

didn't work

In that case, can you copy the file to a unix server and openit with the operating system tar comand :

tar tvf <filename>

Just tried it on Solaris, works fine.

i tried it on fedora but an error occured

tar -tvf <filename>

/bin/gtar: Removing leading `/' from member names
/bin/gtar: Skipping to next header
/bin/gtar: Substituting `.' for empty member name
/bin/gtar: Skipping to next header
/bin/gtar: Substituting `.' for empty member name
/bin/gtar: Substituting `.' for empty member name
/bin/gtar: Error exit delayed from previous errors
 

Is that server a NBU master server ?

If it is, try using :

/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/tar tvf <filename>

If it is not, then I think we're going to be out of luck on this.

what is the version of solaris can you provide me with a link to download it

thanks
