List files that has been backed up

This issue has been solved. See solution.
Hi Guys,
Is there a way for Netbackup 7 to create reports that contain a list of the actual files it has backed up per policy? Basically, we have a critical fileserver that we backup daily/weekly. This fileserver is heavily used everyday and fresh data comes in and out frequently. I need a report or at least a listing of files it actually backed up for a particular time/day. To ensure that a particular file/folder was indeed backed up.
Is this possible?
Please advise.
Thanks.

OpsCenter may do an actual report,but certainly you can use commands.

The example in the TN was on Unix, if using a policy type other than standard then you need to specify this with the -t option
Specifies one of the following numbers that correspond to the policy type. The default is 0 for all clients except Windows, where the default is 13.
0 = Standard
4 = Oracle
6 = Informix-On-BAR
7 = Sybase
8 = MS-SharePoint
10 = NetWare
13 = MS-Windows
14 = OS/2
15 = MS-SQL-Server
16 = MS-Exchange-Server
19 = NDMP
35 = NBU-Catalog
The following policy types apply only to NetBackup Enterprise Server.
11 = DataTools-SQL-BackTrack
17 = SAP
18 = DB2
20 = FlashBackup
21 = Split-Mirror
22 = AFS
25 = Lotus Notes
39 = Enterprise-Vault
The bpflist command is undocumented, so go with bplist - both are similar.
The commands can be cery difficult to get to work, so yo may have to refer to the manuals to get exactly what you want.
Personally I never bother with these commands and I just use cat_convert command on the .f catalog file, it's quicker.
Other option, is just to browse the files in the bar gui - all these options I mentioned are doing exactly the same thing, that is, 'looking' in the .f file.
