Netbackup Report Types 61335f

About the NetBackup report types Select a report type in the NetBackup istration console under NetBackup Management > Reports. Reports may present information about images storage on disk or tape media. Select the Report Settings for the specific report, then, click Run Report. Click Help within the report window for a description of each column. The following table describes the contents of the NetBackup reports, tape reports, and disk reports: Status of Backups report

Displays status and error information about the jobs that completed within the specified time period. If an error occurred, a short explanation of the error is included.

Client Backups report

Displays detailed information on the backups that complete within the specified time period.

Problems report

Lists the problems that the server logged during the specified time period. The information in this report is a subset of the information from the All Log Entries report.

All Log Entries report

Lists all log entries for the specified time period. This report includes the information from the Problems report and Media Logs report. This report also displays the transfer rate. The transfer rate is useful to determine and predict rates and backup times for future backups. (The transfer rate does not appear for multiplexed backups.)

Images on Media report

Lists the contents of the media as recorded in the NetBackup image catalog. You can generate this report for any type of media (including disk) and filter it according to client, media ID, or path. Note: The Images on Media report does not display information for the media that is used for NetBackup offline, cold catalog backups.

Media Logs

Displays the media errors or the informational messages that are recorded in the NetBackup error catalog.

Images on Tape report

Generates the image list present on the tape storage units that are connected to the media server. The report is a subset of the Images on Media report and displays only tape-specific columns.

Tape Logs report

Displays the media errors or the informational messages that are recorded in the NetBackup error catalog. The report is a subset of the Media Logs report and displays only tape-specific columns.

Displays the contents of a volume as read directly from the media header and backup headers. This report lists the backup IDs (not each individual file) that are on a single volume. If a tape must be mounted, the delay is longer before the Tape Contents report appears. report Note: The Tape Contents report does not apply to disk type storage units or NetBackup offline, cold catalog backups. Summarizes active and nonactive volumes for the specified media owner according to expiration date. It also displays how many volumes are at each retention level. In verbose mode, the report displays each media ID and the expiration date. Tape Summary report

Nonactive media are those with a status of FULL, FROZEN, SUSPENDED, or IMPORTED. Other volumes are considered active. Only FROZEN expired volumes appear in the report. NetBackup deletes other expired volumes from the media catalog when backups are run. Expired, nonFROZEN volumes appear if the report is run between the time the volumes expire and the time that the next backup is run.

Tape Written report

Identifies the volumes that were used for backups within the specified time period. The Tape Written report does not display the volumes that were used for NetBackup offline, cold catalog backups. The report also does not display the volumes that were used for duplication if the original was created before the specified time period. Displays information for the volumes that have been allocated for backups for the selected media owner or media ID. This report does not show media for disk type storage units or for offline, cold catalog backups of the NetBackup catalogs. •

Tape Lists report

•

For information about the backups that are saved to disk storage units, use the Images on Media report. To track the media that is used for offline, cold catalog backups, keep a hard copy record. Or, configure the ’s E-mail Address Global Attribute host property. This host property causes NetBackup to send an email that indicates the status of each catalog backup and the media ID that was used. You can then print the email or save it on a disk other than the one that contains the catalogs.

Images on Disk report

Generates a list of images that are expected to be present on the disk storage units, according to the NetBackup catalog. The report is a subset of the Images on Media report and displays only disk-specific columns.

The report provides a summary of the storage unit contents. If a disk becomes bad or if a media server crashes, this report can let you know what data is lost. Disk Logs report

Displays the media errors or the informational messages that are recorded in the NetBackup error catalog. The report is a subset of the Media Logs report and displays only disk-specific columns. Displays the state of disk storage units in the current NetBackup configuration. For example, the total capacity and the used capacity of the disk storage unit.

Disk Storage Unit Status report

Storage units that reference disk pools do not display capacity values. These values are available by expanding Media and Device Management > Devices > Disk Pools. Storage units configured on 5.x media servers do not display capacity-related information.

Disk Pool Status report

Displays the state of disk pool storage units. This report displays only when an Enterprise Disk Option is installed.
