    Yes, I do ...

    I was going to suggest a produlct such as Storsentry.  WIthin NBU there is no option or ability to capture this information, for one reason, it isn't sent to us ....

    So, NBU has no ability and, will never have this ability, to monitor drives at the level you are looking at. In fact, no backup software can log at this level.

    StorSentry is excellent, I have not only used it in the past, but have seen it implemented in other companies to which I was working at the time - it works, very very well.

So at the level NBU can log at, you would see errros in

bptm log

netbackup/db/media/errors

DRIVE_DEBUG touch file in volmgr dir would also allow logging to system messages.

But this is 'highish' level logging, tape alerts / ACS/ ACSQ 'errors' - that sort of thing.
