If you are using the ADSM scheduler to schedule these backups, it creates a
file called dsmsched.log.  This file will show  you all the files that were
backed up.  We also run a report (using a REXX exec) that reads the ADSM
accounting records and tell us which nodes were connected, how much data they
transferred, how long they were connected and how much cpu time they used.

Subject: ADSM NT question

Greetings!

I have a question relating to the reporting of
backups on NT with ADSM.

Currently we are backing up nearly 100% unix
machines (SunOs, Solaris, NetApp, and HP-UX)
but we've added a test bed of 3 NT machines
since we plan to roll out desktop backups
in the near future.

My question is, remembering please I am a unix
person and know very little NT, how can I check
the status of these NT backups?  They are
scheduled and I figure I can pull up the activity
log for that.  From my file spaces report I'm
not seeing any activity on those machines.

One is my own and if I do a manual backup
through the GUI, it says it completes, I
can do restores, but the file spaces report doesn't
get updated.

Any help you can offer would be greatly appreciated.
