Home Netbackup Guides Converting MS SQL's NBIMAGE to Netbackup backupid.

Converting MS SQL's NBIMAGE to Netbackup backupid.

Friday, 12 September 2008 09:06 administrator
This small article show how to find Netbackup's backupid from SQL server's NBIMAGE
This is the NBIMAGE id from SQL Server: NBIMAGE "SQLDKBA057.MSSQL7.SQLDKBA057.db.portus1_SITE.~.0.001of001.20070407082742..C"   
First we do a bpflist - is a undocumented command in Netbackup. Narrow down the time frame as much as possible.
# .bpflist -d 04/5/2007 -e 04/07/2007 -policy NT_SQL -client sqldkba057.corp.novocorp.net -U 
The command will produce something like this :

Client: sqldkba057.corp.novocorp.net
Policy: NT_SQL
Backup ID: sqldkba057.corp.novocorp.net_1175927291

Watch the FN= line and match the NBIMAGE id with the text string in blue. If there is a match, you have the backup id, if not there may be multiple database backups in the time frame you specified . Keep looking.
