Hi,

You can use bpdbjobs with -all_columns. Just pick out the fields you want.

The output of this command consists of a single line per backup job. Each line of the output is a comma-delimited list in the following format:

jobid,jobtype,state,status,policy,schedule,client,server,started,elapsed,ended,stunit,try,operation,kbytes,files,pathlastwritten,percent,jobpid,owner,subtype,c lasstype,schedule_type,priority,group,masterserver,retentionunits,retentionperiod,compression,kbyteslastwr itten,fileslastwritten,filelistcount,[files]...,trycount,[trypid,trystunit,tryserver,trystarted,tryelapsed ,tryended,trystatus,trystatusdescription,trystatuscount,[trystatuslines]...,trybyteswritten,tryfileswritten]...parentjob,kbpersec,copy,robot,vault,profile,sess ion,ejecttapes,srcstunit,srcserver,srcmedia,dstmedia,stream,suspendable,resumable,restartable,datamovement ,snapshot,backupid,killable,controllinghost

Snap :)

yeah sure ""bpdbjobs"" showed the results but it is like a mess

how can extract and present it to our team, I tried different options but couldnt extract a nice output

please let me know if you have any ideas

bharath

to "cut" out the fields you're interested in.

i can use awk and cut but do we have any other command shows the start times, elapsed times and end times because I need it to show to my team every day that backups were donw in the time schedule

Thanks

Bharath

You can write your own script using bpdbjobs with awk and cut and put it in a cron that will run and email the report.

Else look at the reports available in NOM (NetBackup Operations Manager).

Hi Team,

yes I do get the information from command ./bpdbjobs but the time it took and and finished are not displayed here.

I can extract the things but not useful information( timings ) am looking.....

JobID      Type      State Status  Policy     Schedule    Client Dest Media Svr  Active PID FATPipe
910  Image Delete   Done   0                                                                          28135       
909  Catalog Backup  Done 0                                    crmnbu01                      28025       
908         Backup      Done   0  PHASE2   Diff-Backup  crmnbu01   crmnbu01   24159      No
907         Backup     Done    0  PHASE2   Diff-Backup  crmcert       crmnbu01   16101      No
906         Backup  Done      0  PHASE2   Diff-Backup   crmdata2    crmnbu01   26040      No

but thans for letting me know abt the command, but is there any way that I can do from the administration console itself to report to the team?. I suppose SYMANTEC have some feature for reporting to the emails.

in that way I dont need to run the cron jobs, and that's my team requirement to report after the backups without any cron jobs separately.
 

Hi Team,

I found that ./backup_notify has entry

#cat $OUTF | mail -s "successful NetBackup backup" someone_who_cares

uncomment above line and enter your email, you will get report after every backup, if I need to keep all the servers report as a single report then how can I do that?.

Thanks

Bharath
