Just wondering if anybody knows of a CLI equivalent for browsing directories/files on a netbackup client. Through the NetBackup Administration Console when configuring the backup selection list for a policy you can browse an individual client's filesystem. I don't believe this option exists in the Java Console and I was wondering if it were possible to run a command to pull the informaiton from CLI.

"The bplist command shows a list of previously archived or backed up files according to the options that you specify."
Personally I can't think of anything specific to NB that would allow you to essentially browse a client via CLI. (But that doesn't mean there isn't one! ;) )
bpcoverage will show filesystems/drives but no further.
***EDIT***
Unless you can find the info you want via the CLI menu (bpadm) just to search (not sure of the methodology used to connect to client - maybe there is something there?) ?
e.g. user backup/restore option:
Backup of Files and Directories
-------------------------------
s) Select Files and Directories...
e) Edit/View Selected Files...
i) Initiate Backup
p) Change Search Path...
d) Change Date Range...
m) Change Master Server...
k) Change Keyword Phrase...
x) Change Display Mode to Verbose
h) Help
q) Quit Menu

Unfortunately bpgp and bpdir are gone - https://www-secure.symantec.com/connect/forums/bpdir-equivalent-nbu-65x
There is a new command nbgp. But I don't know how to use it.

nbgp? Maybe someone could shed some light on that?
