Monitor backup jobs

You can monitor the jobs that back up the protected clients by using the Jobs tab in the Activity Monitor of the NetBackup Administration Console.

You can see information about a job by double-clicking the job, which opens the Job Details dialog box.

The tabs display job information, as follows:

If the Allow Multiple Data Stream attribute is enabled in the backup policy, NetBackup may divide backups for each client into multiple jobs. Each job backs up only a part of the backup selection list. The jobs are in separate data streams and can occur concurrently. For each client, only one of the jobs initiates the agent that collects the client configuration (normally, the job with the lowest job ID).

Investigate nonzero status of a backup job and resolve problems so backups occur and the agent collects and sends the configuration to the master server.
