Re: [Veritas-bu] Command line question

I think that he can start with

bperror.exe -backstat -hoursago <HourToCheck> -client client_name

bperror.exe –backstat -d mm/dd/yyyy HH:MM:SS -e mm/dd/yyyy HH:MM:SS

Or if this is not good, to install NOM. If nom does not cover his need then he must check for commercial software like Aptare or backup reporter

It really depends on the level of detail you want.

Your best general purpose bet is something like Aptare StorageConsole since it keeps a record of every backup job and the directives for those jobs. So if your DBA asks when /ora_backup was backed up, how much data was in those backups, were they fulls or incrementals, and what were the final status codes, you can answer that question.

There are various native NetBackup commands that help, but it really depends on how detailed you want the answer to be and what time period you're asking about. The native tools won't answer the question I listed above for data that's beyond the retention level of the active job details which is typically less than a week.

If you're dealing with compliance issues and need evidence of backups, you're going to have to deal with a commercial reporting product.
