Hi Gill,

I am currently testing a program called Servergraph. Not only it reports on
your nightly backups, but it also reports on your TSM Server hardware such
storage pool states, dataabse, log volume, CPU, memory, etc. You can even
do trends analysis over a certain period of time. Check it out at
servergraph.com.

Good luck

To all,

I'm wondering how others are monitoring their nightly backups for
completion. Currently our operations people use the web interface to
monitor
backups. I've been asked to find a way to help work this out so information
is fed somewhere from somewhere automatically. I am not a programmer or dba
so my expertise is limited, actually probably non existent, as it relates
to
making this happen on my own.

Do any of you have some suggestions as to how to make this work? Can you
pass along any scripts that would help me? Would this be done from the TSM
server and sent out or is it possible to run this from one computer by
pulling the data from TSM and sending it to a different computer?

If I have to re-invent the wheel it probably won't come out round.....
Thanks,
