Report on Tapes Used for Offsite Storage

Hello all,

I'm currently using Backup Exec 2010 R3 and would like to know if there is a way of customising a report to email me with details of the tape that has been used for a backup job only?

As a technical person, I'll be able to figure what tape has been used, but if I'm not around, I need that info to be email to a non technical person who is just interested in the tape that has been used for that job.

Any ideas?

Regards

Hitesh

You could enable Emil notifications in Backup Exec. Once this is configured, go to Job properties -> Notifications and check 'Include job log with a notification to an e-mail or printer recipient'

The job log will have information about all the media used on that job.

Is there a way of showing just the tape that was being used?

Not that I know off. Unless you want to run reports as it is a manual task.
