Finding Data

The following command is available for finding backed up data.

qlist backupfiles

Description

This command performs a search operation on backed up files and saves the results to a file. The type of operation is defined in the opType attribute in the XML request file:

Find: Performs a recursive search and returns a list of files and folders. Specify recursion by using asterisks in the path attribute as shown: <paths path="C:\data\**\*" />.
Browse: Performs a search on one directory and returns a list of files and folders in that directory. (The Browse operation is not recursive.)
Versions: Lists all of the versions of a single file.

For the Find and Browse operations, you can limit the results to backed up files for a specific job by using the <jobId> element in the XML request file.

In case of an error, an error code and description are displayed as: "backupfiles: Error errorcode: errordescription"

Usage

qlist backupfiles -af path_to_input_XML_file -dpath path_to_output_XML_file [-tf tokenfile] [-tk token] [-example] [-h]

Options

-af	XML file that contains the request
-dpath	Destination path and file name for the XML output file
-tf	Reads token from a file
-tk	Token string
-example	Sample "find" and "browse" XML requests
-h	Displays help

Diagnostics

0 - Successful completion.

1 - CLI usage failures, due to the use of an unsupported option or missing argument.
