Browsing backups using the bplist command

You can use the bplist command to browse Oracle backups. The command returns a list of backup file names.

Before using this command, log onto the master server or the client:

On Windows, log on as administrator to the master server and to the client with the appropriate altnames entry.
On UNIX, log on as root to the master server and to the client with the appropriate altnames entry.

The following example uses the command to search all Oracle backups for a client named jupiter:

# bplist -C jupiter -t 4 -R /

/exb_n2bm5bco_1_1392342936
/exb_mabm02ko_1_1392170136
/exb_lqbltds6_1_1392083334

The -t 4 on this command specifies the Oracle backups. The -R specifies the default number (999) of directory levels to search.

For more information on the bplist command, see the NetBackup Commands Reference Guide.

You can also use the RMAN report and list commands to browse Oracle backups.
