Harry,
David Chapa put out a cool little script that shows average throughput for
backups, I down loaded from a link that he had in a thread and have copied
and modified it every way you can think of, works great for this kind of
info. I?m sure he will respond to your question, but if he doesn?t I can
give you his web link Monday ?When I get back to the office?.

Another way is create the directory /usr/openv/netbackup/logs/bptm  (set up
a cron job to rm these according to your space requirements)
This will keep a log of the tape backups run in a 24 hour period (I believe
it is midnight when it will start a new log)
The file names are ?log.090702? for Sept 7 2002 (oh well just thought I?d
throw that in)

If you are not multiplexing the bptm log will show exactly how many MB/s you
are getting for all backups that are running. Depending on what you have
your file markers set at ?in the environment that I have they are set to
5000MB to write to the tape? so the log shows that for every 5Gig written,
during a client backup, to tape per backup the MB per sec written to tape.

I found that by doing ?tail ?f? on the bptm log file while certain backups
were running gave me great insight as to how to use these logs to my benefit
with scripting.

Hope this helps.

Does anyone know a good way to gather info regarding the throughput of an
individual client during its backups? I am using NBU DataCenter 3.4.2 on a
Solaris platform...
Thanks,
