How do you enable the hidden verbose savegroup option? How do you
use this to see what a client's backup is doing?
Someone mentioned this the other day in a reply to the "Problem
with ending a savegroup" posting. Something about being able to
then do a tail on a file in /nsr/tmp.
I never see anything under /nsr/tmp except some lock files and a
'sec' directory that's essentially empty. What file would this be?
Also, I should note that /nsr/tmp has not been updated at any time
recently on any clients I look at. Not sure what info it would
contain that would be useful?
On the Unix version of nwadmin, you need to go into the Customize
pull down menu, select the Groups item, then in the resulting windows
"view" menu, select the details option. You need to go through this
procedure each time you open up the Groups window. On Windows, you go
into the Options pull down menu and select the hidden items option. I
do not have the Windows GUI in front of me so I am going by memory.
You can then click on the savegroup in question and that verbose
option will appear in one of the tabs.
Once you do that and start the savegroup, you can look in the /tmp
directory inside the nsr directory for the relevant files. The files
will be obviously named, but the naming convention is very long.
Those files will be there regardless of the verbose option's setting,
but with the verbose option, more detail will be written to each
client's tmp file.
