If your intent is to backup all the volumes on the filer, it may be good
to periodically backup the filer without an explicit list, so any new
filesystems are picked up. For example on a Saturday.
Then on Monday query the filesystems on the node and see if any haven't
backed up in the last day. Any that implicitly are picked up, but not on
the explicit list, will show up as having missed a day.
I think we also queried the occupancy, as there would be one object per
file system per completed backup in both the onsite and offsite pools. So
in our case we'd see 90 objects in the onsite pool, and 89 in the offsite
pool if the copy storage pool job was still running. If one of the
filessytems came back with only 80 objects, the filer admin may have
retired a volume and forgotten to tell us.

[ADSM-L] Overview NDMP Backups?
Sent by:

Hi,
Just a quick question. How do you overview your NDMP backuper?
I have a TSM Server 6.1.3.1 based on Windows and 3 NetApp Servers. What
version of OS on the NetApp do I have no idea about.
But on each NetApp do I have everything from 7 Volumes to 25 Volumes to
backup every night.
And my Script looks like this to backup them up
NetApp1 Script
backup node NETAPP1 /vol/vol01 toc=yes type=full wait=yes
backup node NETAPP1 /vol/vol02 toc=yes type=full wait=yes
backup node NETAPP1 /vol/vol03 toc=yes type=full wait=yes
...
...
NetApp2 Script
backup node NETAPP2 /vol/app01 toc=yes type=full wait=yes
backup node NETAPP2 /vol/app02 toc=yes type=full wait=yes
backup node NETAPP2 /vol/app03 toc=yes type=full wait=yes
...
...
NetApp3 Script
backup node NETAPP3 /vol/cifs01 toc=yes type=full wait=yes
backup node NETAPP3 /vol/nfs01 toc=yes type=full wait=yes
backup node NETAPP3 /vol/cifs02 toc=yes type=full wait=yes
...
...
The problem I have is, even if the script tells me completed, that doesn't
mean NDMP have backup all volumes.
When I compare "query nasbackup NETAPP1 * begind=-1 endd=today" and
compare with my NetApp1 Script. I can see that many of my Volumes haven't
been backed up.
What I'm wondering is how do you overview your NetApp backups, and can
confirm that they have been 100% completed.
