RE: [Veritas-bu] File listing for Fragment

[Andrew Wilkin]

Hi Mark,

 

Your given me a  part solution! I did a cat_convert on the binary *.f file and I was able to "grep" out the file from the new *.f file.

 

However, how do I know what Fragment(Tape File No.) I'm looking at.? Do you know what the fields are (file format), I can can guess some?

 

Thanks

No offense, but seeking to a single fragment & reading files is netbackup's job.  The TOC you describe (associating fragment to file) is the quick definition of Netbackup's image catalog.  You're starting to write the application you've already bought.

 

To answer your question, I think you're going to have to mine the catalog directly for the info you're looking for.  Look under the /usr/openv/netbackup/db/images/<client>/<timestamp>/<imagename>.f files for the file to frag info.  If you're using the binary catalog, you'll have to convert them.

Try bpimagelist -backupid (backup_id)

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
