Auditing Users

[Dan_Giberson]

Quick question for everyone? Is there a way in Netbackup to audit what users are doing? I know I can see my log files, but it doesn't say which user did the work. Or even better, if a remote user sends a restore from their server...any thoughts?

Windows 2008 Master, running NBU 7.5.0.5

Sure - there is a audit function in Netbackup.

If you are working in the regulated industries you may consider NBAC as well :

I am sharing one of my nbauditreport output, if you are interested. I find it quite useful!

Thanks guys...is OpsCenter better for auditing, or just on the Master?

[Dan_Giberson]

Ok...small snag. I've turned on my auditing (thank you), however it's pretty much useless as all of my RMAN verifies register as Restores...so I have over 11000 entries for 90 days, where I should only have a few dozen. Suggestions?

You need to tell us more. Do you have  DBA's on the wild ?

[Dan_Giberson]

Our DBA's control their own RMAN's, and I don't see that changing anytime soon unfortunately. Most of our Oracle clusters really don't do much for verifies, however our Exadata is constantly running them against the catalog.
