Any way to search for files for restore if GUI Java console is hung

Is there any command to search for files in a backup from 2010 till 2011?

 

In detail, my Java GUI gets hung sometimes when I select a year backups to search from restore window. So I just want to know if that can be done with a command or not? 

AIX is the Master server and 7.1 is NBU version. 

Thanks,

Soumya

The bplist command shows a list of previously archived or backed up files.

Switches 

-B lists from backups

-C client name

-S Master server

-s start date for listing

-e end date for listing

Kiran,

Thanks for the comment. I believe I used this earlier in my enviromnemt and now I got it again from you.

Surprsignly I am not able to get the list now and dont know why

I specified 

bplist -B -C <cleint> -S <master> -t 0 -s 12/01/2011 -e 12/10/2011

this is Standard policy and I need to search in backups, not archieves. 

Anything I missed here?

Thanks,

Soumya

Date should be in mm/dd/yyyy format.

First give a try with bplist "file or directory" and see if any results will be displayed or not.

A UNIX user's home directory backed up on October 27, 2005 can be shown with a bplist query as follows:

# cd /usr/openv/netbackup/bin
# ./bplist -C <client> -R -t 0 -s 10/27/2005 -e 10/28/2005 /export/uxuser

A Windows user's home data directory backed up on October 27, 2005 can be shown with a bplist query as follows:

% cd "C:\Program Files\VERITAS\NetBackup\bin"
% bplist -C <client> -R -t 13 -s 10/27/2005 -e 10/28/2005 -nt_files /C/Documents\ and\ Settings/owner/My\ Documents

When selecting a year of backup images - it can take a while for the GUI to go get and gather all that info - How long did you wait for it to display?
