Seems like this blog will swell up in this stint at netbackup.

Heres a real good script/command to find the first file contained in a image:

bpflist -U -d $1 -client $3 -backupid $i -rl 10 |sed 's/.*P=\(.*\)D=.*/\1/;'|egrep '^\/'|sed 1q

Inputs required 1. start date 2. end date 3. client name and 4. backup type.

Credits to Sto Rage for the inputs on veritas-bu list.
