RE: [Veritas-bu] command-line way to get vol_id from filespec and date range?
As far as I know, there's no good way to do this without mining the database files directly. "bpimagelist -media" will give you most of this, it'll tell you what tapes were used for a policy, client, time-range, etc. Long listing of simply "bpimagelist" will do the same if you parse the FRAG lines for tape info (note: an image can span tapes so fragments for an image can be on more than one tape. Fragments themselves don't seem to span tapes). Once you add "file-spec" to the "what tape is my backup on", things get messy fast. -M -Original Message-From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]On Behalf Of Rob HaigSent: Wednesday, March 29, 2006 8:29 AMTo: Veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.eduSubject: [Veritas-bu] command-line way to get vol_id from filespec and date range? I’m trying to determine through a command-line interface what piece of media a file is on given a hostname, file-spec, and date range. I suspect I’ll have to start with a backup_id and get the media_id from that with bpimmedia or something like that. I’m not shy of scripting, and given a backup_id (hostname_timestamp) I can derive the piece(s) of media it is on. I just don’t know how to go from the date-range and filespec to the backup_id. thx Confidentiality Notice: This electronic communication contained in this e-mail from Rob Haig (including any attachments) may contain privileged and/or confidential information.

bpflist will give you files in a backupid. -M -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Austin Murphy Sent: Wednesday, March 29, 2006 12:42 PM To: Rob Haig Cc: Veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu Subject: Re: [Veritas-bu] command-line way to get vol_id from filespec and date range? If you have the Date Range and Client name, try this: bpmedialist -media -U -d mm/dd/yy -e mm/dd/yy -client Foreach media id returned, lookup the images on it: bpimmedia -L -media It's funny you mention this, because I would like to know how to get the list of files in a backup image. I usually end up loading too many tapes for a restore.
