Hi Shawn

Me too will be insterestd about it , meantime I wrote a little script that give 
me some indications.

select cast(node_name as varchar(20)) as "Nodename" , cast(filespace_name as 
varchar(30)) as "Filespace" , cast(filespace_id as varchar(3)) as "Filespace 
ID" , cast(backup_start as varchar(40)) as "Backup Start Time" , 
cast(backup_end as varchar(40)) as "Backup End Time" from filespaces where 
NODE_NAME='HAIFA_DATACENTER' order by 5

By the Backup Start time and the Backup End Time I figure if the backup was OK 
or failed.

Regards Robet
