If it was archived, ie the "bparchive" command, then the restore & list
commands needa "-A" to search these images. Annoying, IMO.
If it as just backed-up with a long retention, a much more reasonable
definition of "archive, then standard restore methods apply.
bpimagelist might be a good tool here. It doesn't care if they're bpbackup or
bparchive images.
Search the time frame for your server names:
bpimagelist -d <start> -e <end> | awk '$1=="IMAGE" {print $2}' | sort -u
That'll list all clients backed-up between the start & end dates regardless if
there still active clients in the current setup.
Field 12 of the IMAGE record is the backup type. Value=3 is a bparchive (user
archive) image, the others are backup varieties.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Backup vs Archive
I'm looking from some data that is 3 years old, of some servers that
were supposedly archived to tape way back when by no one knows who. The
backup catalog for this time period shows none of these servers, and if
I run them through the Restore application those servers return no
records. Does archiving data write the data to some other place?
Should I be trying to find this data some other way. I don't know that
the data was archived, but I'm assuming that if it was backed up that it
would be in the catalog (at least.)
