Chances are if you are looking for a useful piece of reporting information it 
won't be in Networker natively.

But don't watermarks come into play only with staging?  We're not using 
staging.  We're cloning.  Am I missing something?

 

As far as native OS utilities, we could ssh between the NW server and storage 
node, but we'd rather not.  I was hoping there was some NW-based query that 
would give us the information.

 

Thanks.

Teresa

Hello,
The watermarks enforce how networker handles cleaning up saveset based on the 
policy you set, perhaps a simple script with email form nsradmin on how close 
are you to the watermark may work for you. 
If not native OS utilities can alert you depending on how much  disk space is 
free. 
There may be other mminfo type of cmds you can use to get a handle on it, but i 
am frankly not understanding  the reasoning to do this, since based on your 
policy networker will  remove staged savesets, if you are reaching watermarks 
frequently and not able to retain as long as you like then perhaps additional 
AFTD devices or increasing their size is more appropriate ?

Yes, but staging would not allow us to keep a copy onsite and send a
copy offsite.  We need the ability to copy the data (ie, clone) and then
delete at a later date.  BUT, we also want to delete only when we're
running out of space.  We just can't figure out how to get NetWorker to
let us know how big each disk device is.

Thanks.
Teresa

Teresa,

You can easily configure staging (Configuration - Staging) from the 
Networker Management Console. Staging will look for the configured
devices 
and will clone data which is not yet recyclable to tape. In this way you

keep all data within the retention period on site.
