DESCRIPTION

The nbfindfile command lets you search files or folders based on simple search criteria like file name and path including wildcard and backup date range. Users can specify a set of clients, possibly belonging to different master servers, for which backups are to be searched. You can specify advanced search criteria including policy type, schedule type, policy name, policy associated keywords, file extensions, file modification date range, and file size.

OPTIONS

-atime

When used with the -l option, -atime displays the last access time in place of the last modification time.

-atime_max mm/dd/yyyy [hh:mm:ss]

Specifies the maximum last access time of objects to be returned. The default is infinite.

-atime_min mm/dd/yyyy [hh:mm:ss]

Specifies the minimum last access time of objects to be returned. The default is 01/01/1970 00:00:00.

-backupid backup_id

The backup ID of the backup image that should be searched.

-c client_name[,...]

Specifies the names of the NetBackup clients whose backups need to be searched. The client names must be specified as they appear in the NetBackup configuration. Multiple clients can be specified as a list that is separated by commas.

-case_sen

Performs case sensitive matching.

-ctime

When used with the -l option, -ctime displays the last change time in place of the last modification time.

-ctime_max mm/dd/yyyy [hh:mm:ss]

Specifies the maximum last change time of objects to be returned. The default is infinite.

-ctime_min mm/dd/yyyy [hh:mm:ss]

-e mm/dd/yyyy [hh:mm:ss] | -e_ut unix_time

Specifies the end date for the search. Backups that occurred at or before the specified date and time are searched. The default is the current date and time.
