Tape Listing

d-stearns
Level 3
Running Netbackup 6.5.  Need to know how to get a listing of what is on tape.  I am backing up Netapps so going through NDMP.  Server running Solaris10.  If I put  tape that is in the drive that is connected to my Solaris Box what command do I issue to dump the contents of the tape?  With legato I could use ufsrestore tvf /dev/rmt/1cbn and redirect to a file.  Is there a certain spot on the tape that I need to fast forward to?

as NDMP saves of NetApp devices in NetBackup are actually carried out by the filer using the NetApp 'dump' command then to read back would be the 'restore' command. Where & how you run this command obviously depends upon the configuration of your environment!
