Hi everyone,
I have been "tasked" with providing a backup schedule list of all active policies for a backup server that can be auto-updated everyday.
The server backup schedule report is to contain the following information for each active backup policy:
Client name
Policy name
OS
Type(s) of backup (full or incremental)
Frequency (ie daily, weekly, etc)
Retention level (ie 1Mth, 1yr, etc)
Target (ALL_LOCAL_DRIVES, D: , etc)
I have been trying bpplinfo, bppllist, bpplsched but cant get it all together even for one client.
I currently track scheduled jobs manually in an excel spreadsheet which took some time to create but not that hard to maintain.
Unfortunately it is NOT AUTOMATED. And just to add a twist I have two Windows backup servers and two Unix backup servers.
I believe a script may be the only way but have not been able to find the commands to collect the desired information
Recommendations?
Solved! Go to Solution.

All of the information you require is listed by 'bppllist <policy> -l'.

INFO section
Policy Name
INCLUDE section
Client Name
OS
Target (ALL_LOCAL_DRIVES, D: , etc)
SCHED section
Type(s) of backup (full or incremental)
Frequency (ie daily, weekly, etc)
Retention level (ie 1Mth, 1yr, etc)
If you use SLP's then some info about retentions will need to be collected from nbstl
