I know I can utilize various bp* commands as well as a bpreport.pl
script I found in the archive mailing lists.

But on a per-client basis, what is the best way to determine *when* the
last successful (full or incremental) backup occurred?

=20

Client =3D boxA

=20

$ ./command -switches boxA

boxA last full backup was successful on August 24th, it started at
8:00pm and ended at 10pm

=20

I will keep researching this but I thought I'd ask to see if anyone had
anything that they used for this purpose.

Justin.
