Running bpbkar in dry run mode

[LuisLiendo]

I am trying to test how fast bpbkar is able to scan and retrieve data from an NFS mounted file system.

Is there a way to run bpbkar in dry run mode so it will just scan and retrieve the data while providing performance information ?

Any help / guidance will be much appreciated

Yes! See http://www.symantec.com/docs/HOWTO5613

/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/bpbkar -nocont -dt 0 -nofileinfo
  -nokeepalives file system > /dev/null

Remember to create bpbkar log folder first and increase logging level in bp.conf to 1.
