query backups on AIX
Goodday
I am administering some 50 AIX lpars. They are backupped to Netbackup.
I was wondering how I can query the backupserver for successful or unsuccessful backups.
Does anyone know this?
Thank you,
Kind regards,
Michel

Greetings,
Your NetBackup solution is running on what platform? AIX, Linux, Windows?
What version of NetBackup are you running?
Asking questions because I may have a script that can help you.If my memory serves me right you have the bpclimagelist on the clients :

And bplist - it return files where backup exists. The command is very picky about it qualifiers.

NBU Client doesn't know about successful and unsuccessful backup jobs, they are only told what backup images exists.
If you want all the details you have to query the Netbackup Master server.
You can query the job failure/success with "bpdbjobs" in the ../bin/admincmd directory on the Primary.
It's got a lot of options but "bpdbjobs -report" is human readable and enough for just success/failure tracking. If you want something parsable then "bpdbjobs -most_columns" will give you comma-separated fields you can feed into awk or similar.
