catdump: dump file history without entering "y"

[Peter_Braack]

Hello,

I need to dump a catalog to validate the backup of some files. I would like to do that in an script. Sadly, catdump asks for input before showing the file history:

*****************Extend List ***************************
**************************************************************
Would you like to print the file history for this file ? (Y/N)
**************************************************************

I can't find a parameter to change that behaviour.
Tried already something like echo y | catdump ... or
catdump ... < answer.txt.

My command:
catdump Catalogs/{92E10F69-69C5-4C78-A2F6-2DC7C4B2FFEE}_1.img

@Veritas: Any "secret" command line options?
@community: How do you list files in a backup set without the GUI?

Best regards
Peter

Hello,
To use this utility:
1. Backup Exec 10.0 rev. 5520 for Windows Servers must be installed*
2. CatDump.exe must be copied to the directory where Backup Exec is installed (usually C:\Program Files\VERITAS\Backup Exec\NT).

*Note: Even though Backup Exec 10.x for Windows Servers is required to run this utility, catalogs from any previous version of Backup Exec can be exported.


Usage: CatDump filename

where parameters are defined as follows:
Parameters have the format "KEYWORD=VALUE"
Abbreviations: KEYWORDS can be abbreviated by the minimum number of
characters needed to identity them (e.g. T for TABDELIM)

SETNUM=number (only used with family GUID) DEFAULT:-1 (all sets)
TABDELIM=Y|N or 1|0 - DEFAULT:Y
HEADERS=Y|N|O or 1|0|O (include set header information, O=header only) - DEFAULT:Y
VALIDATEONLY=Y|N or 1|0 - DEFAULT:N
WAIT=Y|N or 1|0 (wait for key press to terminate) - DEFAULT:N

Status: (first character)
S - File was split by end of media.
C - File was continued from previous media.
X - File image on media is corrupt.


Example:
Catalog directory: C:\Program Files\VERITAS\Backup Exec\NT\Catalogs
Catalog file: {A018199C-8617-11D1-ABBE-0000-F832B476}.IMG
Desired Output File: C:\Catalog.txt

The command would be:
catdump C:\Program Files\VERITAS\Backup Exec\NT\Catalogs\{A018199C-8617-11D1-ABBE-0000-F832B476}.IMG > C:\Catalog.txt
