How 'bout writing something around the ../openv/bin/restore_notify
script.

It runs on the master server after every restore job.  Write the details
to a file, scrape the file for reports whenever you want.

By default your restores are logged in
<installpath>/netbackup/logs/user_ops/root/logs

However, it only holds these logs for the length of time you've
configured to hold all logs.

Presumably you could go back and do an alternate restore of files from
this directory for past periods if it were truly important to have the
information.

You can also specify a path to use for the restore log when you run it
which is what we do with our database refresh restores.   Those logs
would stay there until you purged them (or set up a purge routine).

I'm curious why someone would want this information.  Are they afraid
sensitive data has been restored somewhere else or are they just trying
to see if it was successful?

Have you tried running bperror and grepping for "Successfully Completed
Restore" or something like that?  (I'm doing this from memory, so the
actual spelling and case may be different.)

You will be able to go as far back as you keep bperror logs.
