Hi,

Have you looked at catdump.exe (or cattools.exe if using BE 2012) to pull the data from your media sets into a report?

Check below:

BE 2010: http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH136392

BE 2012: http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH198906

Thanks!

Thanks, it works, but the output is a xml file, how can I open it ? or how can I import into the backup exec ?

You can output in text

[bellissimopytho]

yes, the the txt is something like this:

<ET OST="68" FP="" SZ="641068743680" LB="64" AT="0" CT="0" MT="3" ST="4460554" AR="1048576" XA="262144" RI10="0"/>

In the Backup Exec 2010 Admin guide see page 718 for Backup Sets by Media Set Report http://www.symantec.com/docs/DOC4855 

for the Backup Exec 2012 Admin guide see page 598 http://www.symantec.com/docs/DOC5211 

or I think what you are wanting can be done in Backup Exec 2010 by going to Options - select Job Logs and then select the Summary information, directories,and files processed   WARNING  be prepared for for a lot of disk space to be used.

hope this helps

CatTools [OPTIONS]...
 

Where OPTIONS are defined as follows:
 

To convert BE File History file to XML or TEXT file:
 

   <-Convert | -C > <-FileName | -FN> <source file name> <-Type | -T> <XML | TEXT>
 

   [<-Output | -O> <output file name>]
 

Did you use the -T TEXT switch?

Ok, but for many report I've got the following error:

"""

The server was unable to complete the requested operation.

Unknown reason: 10.

Calling Method 'ExecuteReportJobWithArgs'
BEMSDK Method 'CBemReportJob.Execute'
BEMSDK Failure Code: 10:X8

"""

Please refer to http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH193212 or http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH205496 for the "Unknown reason: 10" error.

well, I have backup exec 2012 and this the command line I typed:

C:\Programmi\Symantec\Backup Exec>CatTool.exe -C -FN "C:\Programmi\Symantec\Backup Exec\Catalogs\xxHOSTNAMExx\{BFBE0739-BEDB-4EBF-89CE-A6611122AF47}_5.fh" -T TEXT -O "d:\cattolsreport\rep2.txt"

and the following is the file rep2.txt:

<ET OST="68" FP="" SZ="641068743680" LB="64" AT="0" CT="0" MT="3" ST="4460554" AR="1048576" XA="262144" RI10="0"/>
<ET OST="68" FP="win2k3-x64-srv-mail_replica" SZ="641068743680" LB="65" AT="0" CT="0" MT="3" ST="4460554" AR="1048576" XA="262144" RI10="1"/>
