Report for NBU Policies and Schedules

Greetings,
Is there a report "somewhere" that will report by backup client server name
policy name, backup client name, Full Schedule name with day and scheduled start time, Incremental or Diff Schedule name with days scheduled and the scheduled start time?

If there's not a report in NBUITA? Then how about a bash or python script to dump that info off of the primary server to a csv file for bringing that info into an Excel spreadsheet?

I need to feed this a list of server names, maybe 30 at a time and dump that to a file. I need to do this for about 1,600 servers. :-)

      client host name, primary server name, policy name, schedule, and etc.
      Not concerned with media server name, disk pool and other stuff that means ZERO to my leadership.
      Most of us backup admins need reports for upper leadership. We already know what is going on in our solution and if we need more info? We can always poke around to find what we need. Answering questions from our leaders is the key driving force on all these things I bring to this forum. :-)

        DPeaco​ Im not sure you answered my question - if a client is backed up by multiple primaries or multiple policies, will the output you are expecting contain multiple lines for a client, or are you expecting 1 line per client in the output.

    Hi Dennis.  You might take a look at the template "NBU Lifecycle Policy Client Configurations CL" in the report library (https://reportlibrary.veritas.com) .  The template should provide client level information for policy and schedule, whether there is a SLP created or not.

      That looks pretty good....but.....
      The report includes the entire vmware policy query when all I'm looking for is a list of 20-30 servers. Example would be......
      if I report on host_123 and it's in a vmware policy type? I get that host buried in a list of the other 115 vm hosts being backed up in that policy.
      I am not comfortable in feeding my leadership a huge report because of the vm query list for each client when the report should only be less than 100 lines long and that's including the MS-SQL policies that are being used on that same list of servers.

      Make sense?
