netbackup command to view the backup/restore job log

Hi there

I am looking for a  netbackup command which i can run on the solaris client to  see the backup/restore job log for that particular client. 

I am trying to monitor the backup / restore jobs through  my script on the client machines. 

 

thanks

Joe

    To check progress on backup jobs you can use -

     

    bdbjobs -jobid <id> -U

     

     For restores, you have an option to create the log file when you configure the restore. Look into that particular log file to check progress. Alternatively you can use /usr/openv/netbackup/logs/user_ops/<user name who started the job>/logs

    Hi,

     

    Have u tried to see the log in

     

    For backup status = /usr/openv/netbackup/logs/bpbkar

    Normally we don't restore directly to client's and we restore locally on master/media server.

    For Restore status in master/media server = /usr/openv/netbackup/logs/user_ops/root/logs

     

    With Regards.

    bperror can give you a lot of info also, but the best is just to open the log files
