Thanks for the help and suggestions, I've written a small script to do
this.
=20
It is basically what is suggested below, but using bperror -hoursago 168
(for a week) and then grepping for the clients.
=20
I thought that there may be an app out there that did this, but I was
wrong.
=20
Thanks,
=20
Justin.

I use a script that basically does a foreach loop for the clients found
in "bpplclients -allunique -l" and greps out their name as well as "EXIT
STAUTS" from the log files under /usr/openv/netbackup/db/error. Here's
the sort of output you could generate and then parse into whatever
format you wish:
=20
root@master:/var# grep "EXIT STATUS" /usr/openv/netbackup/db/error/log_*
| grep client
/usr/openv/netbackup/db/error/log_1124694000:1124725959 1 68 4
media_server 709235 709235 0 client bpsched CLIENT client POLICY
sap_client_hpux SCHED client_hpux_incr EXIT STATUS 0 (the requested

/usr/openv/netbackup/db/error/log_1124694000:1124730223 1 72 4

I know I can utilize various bp* commands as well as a bpreport.pl
script I found in the archive mailing lists.
But on a per-client basis, what is the best way to determine *when* the
last successful (full or incremental) backup occurred?
=20
Client =3D boxA
=20
$ ./command -switches boxA
boxA last full backup was successful on August 24th, it started at
8:00pm and ended at 10pm
=20
I will keep researching this but I thought I'd ask to see if anyone had
anything that they used for this purpose.

Justin.
