Wayne:

If the retention period is longer than 6 months, you can get this information from the bpimagelist command.  Proof that an image exists is proof of a successful backup.  If the retention period is less than 6 months and you do not have a reporting product or are keeping logs some other way, then I am afraid you are out of luck.

Best regards,

Peter Buschman

Our environment is HP-UX 11.11, Netbackup 5.1 MP3 backing up mostly HP unix with some Sun and Windows backups.  It?s audit time again and the auditors are asking for validation that a backup ran 6 months ago.  They give me the date and machine / policy and want me to come up with proof that it was successful.  We are running Advanced Reporter but don?t keep logs that old.  Obviously we do not run any other third party reporting application such as Aptare but may be in the market in the future.  I have been going through the manual but have yet to come up with how to get that info from NetBackup or if it is even available at this time.  Any help will be appreciated.
thanks
