Use the nbemmcmd command with the -listsettings option to view the current NetBackup auditing configuration.

To view the current audit settings

  1. From a command prompt, locate the nbemmcmd command in the following directory:

    C:\Program Files\Veritas\NetBackup\bin\Admincmd

  2. Enter the nbemmcmd command using the following syntax:

    nbemmcmd -listsettings -machinename masterserver

    Where masterserver is the master server in question.

  3. The output lists many configuration settings. Among them are the following:

    • AUDIT="ENABLED"

      Indicates that auditing is turned on.

    • AUDIT="DISABLED"

      Indicates that auditing is turned off.

    • AUDIT_RETENTION_PERIOD="365"

      Indicates that if auditing is enabled, the records are retained for this length of time (in days) and then purged. The default audit retention period is 365 days. A value of 0 (zero) indicates that the records are never purged.
