Full Reading of catalog files - File/path information

[SpeedyDude]

There are no reports in Backup Exec 10d that fit my need. My boss wants a printout of all FILES that were backed two nights ago for DR purposes. I need to read all the catalog files for a certain date and print out the file/path information. I can query from the restore menu, but can only get 10000 entries and can not print it. I understand this printout will be massive, but I need to way to read the catalog files (.fh and .img) to create this list. Anyone have any ideas on this?

Thanks

Why dont you turn on detailed job logging?

Other than that there is a catdump utility on support.veritas.com that will dump the contents fo the img/fh files.

Thanks, that is what I was looking for. Ever since Symantec bought Veritas, I can't seem to find anything on their support site.

How long does the catdump process usually take?

Is there a cmd prompt that allows copy and paste functions?

Thanks.

take a matter of seconds. You can output this to a txt file then its up to you for the rest.

The job was continuing to run for minutes. So I pressed "Ctrl-Break" and read the txt file created. It was waiting for me to answer the question, "Do you want to print the file history? {Y/N]" So I ran the job again and pressed "Y". Then it took the seconds you described.

I created a BAT file to send the Copy and Paste info to, so I didn't have to meticulously type the letters and numbers of the .img files.
