RE: [Veritas-bu] File listing for Fragment

[Andrew Wilkin]

Thanks Steve,

 

I did think of this, but when I look at the 'Images on Media' gui. There are number of Fragments (Images) on the piece of media, all with the same BackupID!! So I don't believe this would help me.

 

I suppose what happens, is that Backup Request being backed-up is 'large' and the system has broken this into multiple Images/Fragments (files on the tape), but because it's all part of the same Backup they are tagged with the same BackupID number.

 

Thanks again

Hi All,

 

I'm after a away to extract the files that are contained within an individual BackupId that has multiple "Fragments" (File number on a Tape).

 

If I have a single backup image and it spans many "Fragments" / File Numbers, on the media, is there a way to extract a listing's of those files from a single Fragment/File Number using a single backup id, though the are multiple Fragments for that single backup? (sorry but I've repeated myself here!)

 

I know I can get a complete listing of a specific backup using bpmedialist and give the backup id etc. But using the Images on Media control( from the GUI), I can see the multiple Fragments on the Tape with the File Numbers, so there must be a way somehow to relate this back into the NetBackup DataBase to use it!

 

This has come about from an historic NDMP system I've had to recover from and for the particular directory, they are 27 Fragments, and I know how to extract the NDMP backup using a SUN system, but I didn't know which file on the tape to skip to. I have managed to extract the data. But I'm hoping I can get a better solution to what I've done, by creating a TOC for each of the Fragments and grep-ping for my data to extract!

 

Thanks
