About using bplist to retrieve SQL Server backups

You can use the bplist command to obtain restore images. Use this command if you plan to manually create a restore script, rather than through the NetBackup for SQL Server interface. See the NetBackup Commands Reference Guide for complete information about bplist.

To extract all of the NetBackup for SQL Server backups from a specific server for a specific client, run the following command from the Windows command prompt.

install_path\NetBackup\bin\bplist -C client -t 15 -S server -R \

where client is the host machine on which NetBackup for SQL Server resides and server is the host machine of NetBackup server.

The following example shows how to obtain the list of SQL Server backups that were backed up from client juneberry to server Cole:

C:\Program Files\NetBackup\bin\bplist -C juneberry -t 15 -S cole -R \
juneberry.MSSQL7.JUNEBERRY.db.pubs.~.7.001of003.20140920101716..C:\
