How to search within backups?

[heinzelrumpel]

Hi,

how would I search a certain file within out backups made with backup exec 2010 r3? I have found an option which says search catalog, but there it will not find any file I was looking for, not even wildcads. That must be something different.

Was all media cataloged prior to running the catalog search ?

Additionally, you may have to increase the number of search count using this KB - http://www.symantec.com/business/support/index?page=content&id=TECH167490

Lastly, you may consider using Catalog Tools which exports the content of the catalog to a text file - http://www.symantec.com/business/support/index?page=content&id=TECH136392
