The situation may arise in which a storage provider needs to extract all of a specific client's records. The storage provider can extract the customer images from the catalog archive by creating the archives that are based on client name.
To extract images from the catalog archives based on a specific client
Create a catalog archiving policy. Indicate the volume pool for that client in the Attributes tab.
Run bpcatlist so only the.f files from that client are listed. For example:
Install_path\VERITAS\NetBackup\bin\admincmd\bpcatlist -client clientname | bpcatarc | bpcatrm
If you do not want to write more images to the client's volume pool, change the volume pool before you run another archiving catalog.
