Catalog utility search criteria and backup image details
The catalog utility in the NetBackup web UI lets you perform various actions on a catalog image. For example, verify or duplicate an image. The catalog utility is organized as follows:
Search tab
Provides the search criteria you can use to locate backup images. See Table: Catalog search criteria for details.
For more details on these actions and on data-in-transit encryption (DTE) in your NetBackup environment, see the NetBackup Administrator's Guide, Volume I and NetBackup Security and Encryption Guide.
After you search for backup images, the image list displays at the bottom of the page. Click Show or hide columns to display additional information about the images. See Search results properties for additional properties that are displayed in the search results.
Activity tab
Displays the progress of the request to verify, duplicate, expire, or import an image.
The following actions and search criteria are available when you search for catalog images.
