Re: [Networker] Backup Report

Riaan,

If you are talking about the success and failure reports then there is a way
to make it ignore errors.  You may want to check bocada's website on how to
do this as it escapes me right now.

Yes, have played with it and it has been quite usefull sofar. Especially if
you need a relatively cheap way to produce "quick" reports that management
can look at to see backup status.

You can as well do things like disk information - types of files, space
usage etc.

UNFORTUNATELY, from a backup administrators point of view one has to be
carefull - as you need to make sure that your logs are 100% clean (if not
100% you dont get a "green" light). (It took us a week to get our own logs
backups "clean" and we still get the occasional open file error etc - which
makes the report show a little grey block - but fortuantely it is
intelligent enough to know it hasnt failed (which will be a red block).

It as well interrogates most other backup applications (I have tested it on
Veritas and Tivoli).

You dont want to pluck your own stick for management to beat you with ....
<grin>

Is anyone using Backup Report by Bocada?  Good? Bad?



Thanks,
