Hallo Mike,

you could have a look to our "Power Administrator for TSM" Freeware version ( 
www.tsmpoweradmin.com), 
where you are able to see graphically  the current and past backup/schedule 
status of all your backup jobs and in addition you
 could use  our free adjustable "out of the box  Operational Reporting" report 
and send it to your e-mail address every day if you want. 
 
Have a try ( If you try and have questions, pls contact me directly).
Rgds Michael

Betreff: Backup job status

Folks:

What is the best way to track a TSM backup job's status?

We are currently using TSM 6.2, working on the upgrade to TSM 7.1, and have a 
business user that desires a simple interface with which to check status of a 
backup job.  "Green-light/red-light" sort of display, with the ability to 
drill-in if necessary.

And I don't mean just the status of the job completion (did the job reach the 
end?) but covering the status of all the files backed up (Job completed, but 
"failed" because it was unable to backup one of the
drives...)

Is there anything built into TSM to provide such reporting?

I'm happy to read on my own if someone is willing to point me in the right 
direction, but would love to gather practical advice and experience as well.

Thanks!

Best regards,
