I generate a report once a month that shows me all the filesystems that
have not been backed up in more than 30 days. I can look through the
list and pick out the hosts that I know should be backing up.
Here is the select statement I use (likely borrowed from this forum).
select node_name, Filespace_name,
(current_timestamp-backup_end)days as "days_since_backup" from
filespaces where
cast((current_timestamp-backup_start) days as decimal) >=30 order
by "days_since_backup"

Yeah, I am in the same boat,
I have too many nodes that do not backup, anbd no way to know unless I
look in the failure report that gets e mailed out. Best thing to do is
check the filesystem and see the last time It was accessed and backed
up, the hitting the server info means meta data was sent and the system
said yeah Im here, its the filesystem that tells you what is really
going on.

We had a system that was connecting to the server 4 times a day, so last
access was always less than 1. I crashed and burned, got rebuilt -- and
the most recent backup was 15 months old.
And I *still* can't get the NT admins to check the logs on any regular
basis.

"Days since last access" just tells you the last time there was
communication between the client and the server.
It doesn't tell you anything about whether the client was backed up, or
not.
The communication could have been a single restore; or it could be the
client scheduler just checking for a backup time.
Or you could have a client backup that started, but did not complete
successfully.
To verify whether the client has been successfully backed up, look at
q filespace nodename f=d
Look for the "last backup end" date for each client filesystem to see
when it last backed up.

hello,
When I do a q node to find out what nodes are being backed up, I see
that "<1" means it is being backed up properly. But at times I see "1" ,
"2", "3" ......" some big number " without "<" attached to it , my
question is what is the definitive number to say it is still being
backed up without digging through the details I have been told that "1"
.. up to "3" is still ok. Thank you for clarifying.
