lsbu

Purpose

Use the lsbu command to list cataloged backups. A catalogued backup is a backup that has completed, either successfully or with errors, and that has been logged in the Oracle Secure Backup catalog.

The lsbu command lists backup date and time, volume ID, and so forth. The ls command lists the contents of cataloged backups.
