Browsing Sybase backups
You can use the bplist command to browse the Sybase backup history on the primary server. The result is the list of dump file names. The following example bplist command searches all Sybase backups (dumps) for a client named copper on a server named candytuft:
UNIX and Linux:
root:<candytuft> % cd /usr/openv/netbackup/bin root:<candytuft> % bplist -S candytuft -C copper -t 7 -R / /sybase1200.esam.T.0.22448.26-10-2025.13:45:17 /sybase1200.model.D.0.21182.26-10-2025.12:56:40 /sybase1200.model.D.0.20730.26-10-2025.12:42:04 /sybase1200.model.D.0.20932.26-10-2025.12:33:02 /sybase1200.primary.D.1.20138.26-10-2025.07:25:57 /sybase1200.primary.D.2.19620.26-10-2025.07:25:57 /sybase1200.primary.D.3.20640.26-10-2025.07:25:57 /sybase1200.primary.D.0.19888.26-10-2025.07:25:57 /sybase1200.model.D.0.19092.26-10-2025.07:18:14 /sybase1192.model.D.0.4172.25-10-2025.07:17:20 root:<candytuft> %

The -t 7 option on this command specifies the Sybase backups (dumps). The -R on this command specifies a recursive listing.
For more information on this command, see the bplist(1M) man page.
Note:
NetBackup stores Sybase backups (dumps) in its catalog as dumpfile, but when you specify a backup for the LOAD command, you must use dumpfile without the slash /.
