Command to find latest full backup and its status in Netbackup 7.0

Hi Team,

I have around 500 + servers in the netbackup 7.0 environment and we frequently need to find out the last successful Full Backup of particular server.

Is there any script or command which would help me to find it? My master server is running Linux RHEL 5.5.

Please help.

 

Thanks!

    then, based on the GUI's "Client Backups" report (which you could also use by the way!), you need to be looking at bpimagelist

    http://www.symantec.com/business/support/index?page=content&id=TECH20462

    Client Backups Report
    The Client Backups report shows detailed information on backups completed within the specified time period.  
    # cd /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd
    # ./bpimagelist -U [-A|-client name] [-d <start_date> <start_time> -e <end_date> <end_time>]

    You can also replicate what is shown in the Acitivity Monitor at command line:

    bpdbjobs -report

    And there is some grep'ing or awk'ing could be done to get what you need.

    There is also some configuration can be done to get other columns. Google 'bpdbjobs columns'

    But Andy's Client Backup report recommendation is the ideal way to get what you want.

    in the BAR fulls are green - if the backup failed it would not be there at all.

    Setting your view to NOT show as time line - makes it very easy to see when the last full was done.

    Or is there more to your question that I am not seeing?

    Andy,

    Thanks a lot. I am almost close to what I was intending. The only thing I missing in this output of bpimagelist is the status code of that backup which could tell me whether backup was successful or not.

    [root@server1 admincmd]# ./bpimagelist -U -client client1 -d 12/01/2011 -e 12/25/2011

    Can passing any argument do the trick?

    bpimagelist will only report on successful backups. Same with Client Backup report.

    No image info of unsuccessful/failed backups are kept.

      Hi 

      Will this include the partially failed jobs because partially failed DB jobs have no use
