Re: [Networker] Command line reporting questions

This will work to some degree, but there are limitations:
- This information is not retained when NetWorker is restarted.
- If a group is rerun even as a probe (savegrp -pnv), then this data is
overwritten.
- This does not contain complete completion information.  Often this
will contain a message about "X lines of suppress output".  In our
environment, this tends to happen on any client where there are files
opened/in use/changing while backups are being done.  The problem,
however, is that there is no filtering done on what messages may be
suppressed.

Enjoy.

Thank-you for responding, it is greatly appreciated.

At this point I am looking for anything [command line] that can tell me
what
backups ran last night, whether they were successful, amount of data
backed
up, and the time it took to back them up. 

I found an nsradmin command for 'show completion' that I could run on a
daily basis? Is this best?


regards
Dan

I'm not sure what you're asking for here, but you might be interested in
adding 'ssflags' to the report, or the incomplete/!incomplete query.
Most jobs that are in progress during a failure are marked incomplete.  

Are you looking for filenames or a cause or what?

I don't recall the mminfo database having sufficient information to get
this.  Last time I wanted that kind of information I did post-processing
of the savegrp notification report (actually I used the on-server log
files, but it's the same information).

If you're using multiplexing and/or client parallelism, then this
information can be somewhat misleading, but it can also be useful.
