Browsing Sybase backups

You can use the bplist command to browse the Sybase backup history on the master 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 /

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 or NetBackup online help.

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 /.
