Are you looking for the Media written report?


Media Written Report
The Media Written report identifies volumes that were used for backups
within the specified time period.  
# cd /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd
# ./bpimagelist -A -media [-d <start_date> <start_time> -e <end_date>
<end_time>]

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Netbackup 6.5.3 E-Mail Question


I am currently running NetBackup 6.5.3 within my server environment.

I have Netbackup setup to e-mail me once it completes a backup so that
when I get to work in the morning I can see if there were any problems
with the backups from simply looking at my e-mail.

Here is my current configuration of the nbmail.cmd applet&#058;
@IF "%~4"=="" &#40;
sendEmail -f &#91;my e-mail address&#93; -t %1 -u %2 -o message-file=%3
-s &#91;exchange ip&#93; -l E&#58;\sendEmail_log.txt
&#41; ELSE &#40;
sendEmail -f &#91;my e-mail address&#93; -t %1 -u %2 -o message-file=%3
-a %4 -s &#91;exchangeip&#93; -l E&#58;\sendEmail_log.txt
&#41;

Instead of using Blat for the mail SMTP application, I use sendEmail
(http://caspian.dotconf.net/menu/Software/SendEmail/) as I feel it is a
bit more robust and I don't have the issues with it that I had with Blat
on my old exchange server...basically just a preference thing at this
point...but I digress.

Here is an example e-mail that I receive from the Netbackup system after
a backup completes:

Backup E-Mail wrote:
> Subject: 
> Backup on [servername] - 0
> Contents:
> Backup on client [servername] for user root by server
[backupservername] succeeded.
> 
> Policy = [servername policy]
> Schedule = Daily_Incremental
> 
> File list
> ---------
> ALL_LOCAL_DRIVES


Now with that information, I was wondering...is there a way for me to
include the Tape Number/Media ID (ie, barcode) within the e-mail when it
is sent out so that I know which backups used which media?

I have looked around on the internet as well as your website and just
can't seem to find this solution so I am sorry if I skipped over
something that already exists.  Currently I have to log onto the backup
server and go through the Netbackup Admin Console and look through each
job to know which tapes were used under which policies.

What I am looking to do in the end result is document which tapes were
used for which backups so that I can take the tapes out of the library
each day and store them in a safe during their "cool down" period which
is specified through the retention setting under the Backup Policy. If
you have a better method than doing this through e-mail, I am definitely
open to ideas.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
