msagent - unable to list backups
When trying to use the command
msagentadmin -s --ddhost ddcdmp01.lyondell.com --ddpath /data/col1/DDCT2SQL --dduser ddboost --client edcdbd85.lyondell.com
we will get the following error
Error occurred while reading the lockbox 'C:\Program Files\DPSAPPS\common\lockbox': Failed to retrieve the password from the lockbox.
Can someone please help me figure out why i am getting this error

I was able to get past that by running CMD as administrator but the output is as follows
For client 'edcdbd85.lyondell.com":latest save set it, taken 12/31/1969 6:00:00 PM
Listed 0 Backups.
Not sure why it would list that and not all the existing backups on the DD system

This is an old post but relevant to my problem. I'm getting a similar message as nrgreen. How does one get a list of backups for a particular DDBoost for SQL client?
I'm trying to automate the process of restoring SQL Server backups (both full and transaction logs) to another server. To do so, I need to query the DD for available backups and initiate the restore. I know the CLI to initiate the restore. I don't know how to enumerate the list of backups. The msagentadmin.exe utility tells me there are no backups. I know there are backups because the DDBoost GUI lists a set of available backups. Is the msagentadmin.exe the correct utility? Where is the CLI reference (had a bugger of a time finding useful documentation)?
Tanks.
