Media Contents

I am trying to see the images on a tape.

I am using bpimmedia -l -mediaid 123456

Well that list all the frags, and it takes like 20 mins to run.

So I tried bpimmedia -l -mediaid 123456 | grep image

That gives me a good output but man is that a long time. My problem is I am comparing the images in netbackup on a tape to the images I have for that tape in my tape management system. So I need to compare like 300k tapes.

Any way to see the images on a tape quickly?

I tried bpimagelist -U which gives me policy name but I need the media number to. using the -media creates a different report. There has to be a quick way. I am writing something in Perl, I wonder if I can download the file that bpimmedia is querying? And run my own searches? Any ideas?

Thanks
