vmquery

[mikedaruke]

I need to know what date and time the last backup was completed on any given tape. Can I find this out with vmquery? The only field close would be last mount I think. If not any other way?

Try this
# bpimagelist -A -media -d 01/01/2005 -e 01/01/2006

Media ID Last Written Server
-------- ---------------- ----------
200240 04/21/2005 19:06 gilligan

Just because the Veritas documentation states a certain thing does not make it a fact

here is the usage of bpimagelist. You may find a better way to suit your needs.

# bpimagelist -help

Bob,

I am in the process of gaining access to use bmimagelist. What does bpmedialist do?




Thanks. Another question. Can you point me in the right direction to learn about NETbackup. I don't adminster it, but I want to learn about it so eventually I can. I was looking for books and stuff online. Any suggestions? I want to know how everything works. Thanks in advance.

one of the manuals is for command line interface and you will find bpmedialist and bpimagelist man pages.
