Hi All,

I want to know the backup start date of very first backup of some clients . I tried to get this from java GUI from "status of backups" and "client backups" report, but both dates are vary. Please let me know which date is correct. or is there any other method/command to find this information.

 

NBU version : 7.7.1

OS : Linux

 

Thanks

run

bpimagelist -L -client "clientname" -d 01/01/1970

 

It will show you all backups of this client as far back as 1970 ;)

For some clients it only showing Full schedule backup list and not the incrementals.

Client Backups (bpimagelist) will only show valid, unexpired backups. If very first backup for a client has epired, then it will not show up in any reports. Backup status can only show as far back as 'Days to keep logs' is set in Host Properties on the master server. The default is 28 days. If Client Backup report (bpimagelist) does not show any Incr backups, they have either expired or did not run.

Incrementals would not be kept as long as Fulls (under normal circumstances)

If you have opsCenter, depending on the data purge schedule you have set up in there, it might have info on images that are already expired from the catalog
