NBU will only keep backup information for as long as specified by the schedules in your policies.
So, if you can only see 2 months, there is clearly something very wrong with your retention levels.
If you still have the tapes from 2 years ago (hopefully offsite so that they are not overwritten), you can import them back into NBU.
See this TN for step-by-step instructions to import tapes: http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH43584

is the files retained for 2 years?
please provide us bppllist policyname -U
02-06-2014 07:13 AM
Please show us the policy config as per above request.
Is it possible that retention levels in schedules were changed after backups were made?
Or that this is an agent policy with different retention levels selected for Automatic and Application Backup schedule?
Is it possible that backups were done for client with different hostnames? (e.g. some backups done with shortname of client and others with FQDN)
What do you see in folder under ...\veritas\netbackup\db\images?

If you import the media, the original backup dates will appear in BAR.
