Or just a "QUERY BACKUP {filespacename}\directorypath -INA -SUBDIR=YES"
will
give you a nice list, too. You can then redirect this to a file and
maniplulate it all you want. Using the line command you can also start
it
with the -VIRTUALNODENAME= and get this information from any nodename
you
want. Will even give you backup information for TDP agent nodenames. The
format of the entrie names is dependant on the TDP agent and might not
mean
much, but you'll still get dates.

You can do the same thing with the command line, although it's not
nearly as handy:
dsmc restore /* -subdir=yes -ina -pick
This will create a scrollable list that contains much of the information
you're looking for. You can, of course, be more selective with the file
designator so that you don't have to scroll through hundreds of screens
to get the information you're after.

Re: File/Directory information for backups
On the UNIX machines we do not have any GUI so it would need to be command line. Sorry not to include that.
