Description

Status of Backups

The Status of Backups report shows 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 in the report.

See Status of Backups report .

Client Backups

The Client Backups report shows detailed information on the backups that complete within the specified time period.

See Client Backups report .

Problems

The Problems report generates a list of the problems that the server has logged during the specified time period. The information in this report is a subset of the information that is obtained from the All Log Entries report.

See Problems report .

All Log Entries

The All Log Entries report generates a list of all log entries for the specified time period. This report includes the information from the Problems report and Media Logs report. This report also shows 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.)

See All Log Entries report .

Images on Media

The Images on Media report generates a list of the media contents 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.

See Images on Media report .

Media Logs

The Media Logs report shows the media errors or the informational messages that are recorded in the NetBackup error catalog.

See Media Logs report .

Images on Tape

The Images on Tape report generates the contents of the tape-based media as recorded in the NetBackup image catalog. The Images on Tape is a subset of the Images on Media report.

See Images on Tape report .

Tape Logs

The Tape Logs report displays all error logs related to tape-based backup and recovery. The Tape Logs report is a subset of the Media Logs report.

See Tape Logs report .

Tape Contents

The Tape Contents report generates a list of 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 before the report appears is longer.

Before running the Tape Contents report, you can choose to override the default job priority for the job.

To change the priority for this job, enable Override default job priority. Then, select a value in the Job Priority field.

If this option is not enabled, the job runs using the default priority as specified in the Default Job Priorities host properties.

See Tape Contents report .

Tape Summary

The Tape Summary report summarizes active and nonactive volumes for the specified media owner according to expiration date. It also shows how many volumes are at each retention level. In verbose mode, the report shows each media ID and the expiration date.

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 it runs backups. An expired volume of a different status can display the following: the expired volume displays if the report is run between the time the volume expires and the time that the next backup is done.

See Tape Summary report .

Tape Written

The Tape Written report identifies the volumes that were used for backups within the specified time period. The report also does not display the volumes that were used for duplication if the original was created before the specified time period.

See Tape Written report .

Tape Lists

The Tape Lists report generates information about the volumes that are allocated for backups for the selected media owner or media ID.

This report does not show media for disk type storage units. For information about the backups that are saved to disk storage units, use the Images on Media report.

See Tape Lists report.

Images on Disk

The Images on Disk report generates the image list present on the disk storage units that are connected to the media server. The Images on Disk report is a subset of the Images on Media report, showing 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.

See Images on Disk report .

Disk Logs

The Disk Logs report displays all error logs related to disk-based backup and recovery. The Disk Logs report is a subset of the Media Logs report.

See Disk Logs report .

Disk Storage Unit Status

The Disk Storage Unit status 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.)

Multiple storage units can point to the same disk pool. When the report query is by storage unit, the report counts the capacity of disk pool storage multiple times.

Storage units that reference disk groups do not display capacity values. To display capacity values, expand Media and Device Management > Devices > Disk Pools.

See Disk Storage Unit Status report .

Disk Pool Status

The Disk Pool Status report generates the details of one or more disk pools.

This report displays only when an Enterprise Disk Option is installed.

See Disk Pool Status report .

If Vault is installed, additional reports display.
