File Reporting

[MilesVScott]

We have somewhat of an emergency, We had quite a few (10k+) files disappear from a NetApp. My boss has asked me to check the backups to see if there is any similarity in the files that are gone. These backups are from a CIFS share and we run daily cumulative incremental. I am gong to keep researching this on my own but as this is time sensitive any help would be awesome. What I really need is, a list of changed files. I'm not sure if NetBackup logs this or not. If that is impossible a good report showing the number of changed files would also work.

The BAR interface will show you what files were backed up

Activity monitor will show number of files

What version of NBU ?  do you have Opscenter installed?

Sorry about that. I have 7.1.0.3 and Ops Center Analytics 7.5.0.1. As far as the BAR and Activity monitor While the BAR does show me what files were modified it does not allow me to export them out to give in a report. I am trying to avoid retyping these because of the sheer size of the files.

eg, -t 13 if a windows backup )
