About browsing Informix backups

Use the bplist command to browse the Informix backup history on the master server. The result is the list of dump file names. The following example assumes that the root user issued the bplist(1M) command from the NetBackup master server to search all Informix backups for a client named cabbage:

bplist -C cabbage -t 6 -R /legohead 
/legohead/0/18
/legohead/0/17
/legohead/0/17
/legohead/rootdbs/0
/legohead/0/17
/legohead/0/17
/legohead/0/17
/legohead/0/16
/legohead/rootdbs/0

The -t 6 on this command specifies the Informix backups (dumps). Alternatively, you can specify -t 0 to browse the backups of files in the $INFORMIXDIR/etc files. For more information on this command, see the bplist(1M) man page.
