Example of the short display format:

 

# bpimmedia -l -policy regr1_gava -t FULL
IMAGE gava 3 gava_0949949902 regr1_gava 0 full 0 3 25 952628302 0 0
FRAG 1 1 10256 512 2 13 13 A00002 plim 65536 0 949616279 0 0 *NULL* 952628302 1

Long format (bpimmedia -L .. )

Fields and meanings for the -L format are as follows:

Line 1

Backup-ID - Unique identifier for the backup that produced this image

Policy - Policy name (may be truncated if long)

Type - Schedule type (FULL, etc.)

RL - Retention level (0..24)

Files - Number of files in the backup

C - Compression (Y or N)

E - Encryption (Y or N)

T - Image type

R - Regular (scheduled or user-directed backup)

P - Pre-imported backup (phase 1 completed)

I - Imported backup

PC - Primary copy, 1 or 2. Designates which copy of the backup NetBackup chooses when it restores.

Expires - The expiration date of the first copy to expire, which appears in the Expires field of the fragment, which is described later.

Line 2_n+1

Copy - Copy number of this fragment

Frag - Fragment number or IDX for a true-image-restore (TIR) fragment

KB - Size of the fragment, in kilobytes. This value does not include the size of tape headers between backups. A fragment size of 0 is possible for a multiplexed backup.

Type - Media type (Rmed - removable media; Disk otherwise)Density - Density of the removable media that produced the backupFnum - File number; the n-th backup on this removable media Host - Server whose catalog contains this imageDWO - Device Written On; device where the backup was written. The DWO matches the drive index as configured in Media Manager (applies only to removable media).

MPX - Flag that indicates whether this copy is multiplexed: Y or N (applies only when fragment number is 1)

Expires - The expiration date of this copy (applies only when fragment number is 1)

MediaID - Media ID or absolute path where the image is stored

Example of Long display format:

bpimmedia -L -policy regr1_gava -t FULL
