How to create a report of backup windows and schedules?

[trippeer]

I am trying to get our backups under control and we are getting a bunch of 196 (backup window closed) errors. I understand what this error means, but what I really need is a high level view of all of our backup windows so that I can adjust them logically and accordingly. Does anyone know of a report or a procedure that will help me do this? We are using NB 7.6 on Linux and we have OpsCenter installed.

Not always easy to get all this .. you can pipe out the schedules / policies and work it out from there, use nbpemreq command to show what is due - all hard work!

As you have OpsCenter try the Planning Activity > Scheduled Job > Job Count within Backup Window report

to see if that gives you more of what you are looking for

Hope this helps

#edit# there are a couple of reports in that area that you can play with - hopefully one will give you what you need, otherwise it does mean slogging through NetBackup outputs or studying the summary of all polcies schedules section to get a feel fot things (no good is you have a lot of policies!)

That report does help, thanks. It is not exactly what I wanted, but I can see that a large majority of my jobs are scheduled for 18:00.
