Description

The nbstlutil command can be found in /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd (UNIX) or <install_path>\VERITAS\NetBackup\bin\admincmd (Windows).

nbstlutil list -backupid <backupID> shows information about the specified backupID taken from the EMM database.

The -U command line switch presents this data in a "user-friendly" format.

The -l switch provides a "compact" output where data is presented on a single line in a more easily parsable format.

Without a switch, -l is implied:
# nbstlutil list

In the Netbackup 6.5.5 release update, the Version feature was introduced, allowing for images in process to retain the prior Lifecycle configuration options.  The version number is added as the 14th field for the IMAGE record listing from nbstlutil, (example below and noted in table above):

# nbstlutil list -backupid client-name_1266872694
