Status

Shows the completion status of the backup. If the status code is 0, the operation succeeded. If the status code is not 0, right-click the entry in the table and launch the Troubleshooter to display troubleshooting information.

Status

The following messages commonly appear as the status:

  • Active

    Indicates that the volume is currently in use.

  • Expired

    Indicates that the volume has expired.

  • Frozen

    Indicates that the volume is unavailable for future backups. A frozen volume never expires, even after the retention period ends for all backups on the media. This means that the media ID is never deleted from the NetBackup media catalog and remains assigned to NetBackup. (The bpmedia command can also be used to freeze or unfreeze volumes.)

    A frozen volume is available for restores. If the backups have expired, the backups first must be imported.

  • Imported

    Indicates that the backup was imported to this server. The volume cannot be used for further backups until retention periods for all backups on it have expired. At that time, the imported volume is deleted from the NetBackup media catalog and unassigned from NetBackup.

    An imported volume is available for restores. If the backups have expired, the backups first must be imported.

  • MEDIA_FULL

    Indicates that the media is full and no more backups are written to it. NetBackup sets FULL status if it encounters an end of media (EOM) during a backup. A full volume is unavailable for future backups until the retention period expires for all backups that are on it.

  • MPX_MEDIA

    Indicates that the media contains multiplexed images.

  • Multi-Retlev

    (Multiple Retention Level) Indicates that the volume contains backups of more than one retention level.

  • Suspended

    Indicates that the volume cannot be used for further backups until retention periods for all backups on it have expired. (The bpmedia command can also be used to suspend or unsuspend volumes.)

    A suspended volume is available for restores. If the backups have expired, the backups first must be imported.

Storage server type

Shows the type of storage server.

Storage unit name

Shows the label that NetBackup associates with physical storage.

Time

Shows the time of the day that the backup occurred.

Times written

Shows the number of times this media was written.

Total capacity

Shows the total capacity of disk storage unit or disk pool.

For a disk pool, the total capacity is the actual capacity, not the licensed capacity.

Multiple storage units that share the same disk pool or volume indicate this (Shared).

True image restore available

Shows whether NetBackup colleced true image restore information for this policy. Yes indicates that true image restore information was collected.

Type

Shows the type of status. (For example, Backup, General, or Security.)

Used capacity

Shows the capacity of a disk storage unit or disk pool that is in use.

If multiple storage units share the same disk pool or volume, it is noted (Shared).

Valid images

Shows the number of nonexpired backups on the volume. For example, if the volume has 50 backups but only 10 are valid, then the other 40 have expired. If the volume has any multiplexed backups, this field contains MPX.

Volume pool

Shows the number that corresponds to the volume pool for the media as follows:

0 = None (no volume pool)

1 = NetBackup

2 = DataStore

3 = CatalogBackup
