How to see old restore jobs in Netbackup

[Zahid_Haseeb]

Environment

NBU Server = 6.5.5

OS of NBU Server = win2003

I want to see some old restore jobs. Actually i am not able to find these old jobs in Activity Monitor and also in Status View. Is there a way to see the old restored jobs in GUI or from Commandline

Which nbu version are you using..

install OPS-CENTER or NOM in your environment for getting historcal reports

Thanks for your kind reply

As i have already told you that i am using Netbackup Server 6.5.5.

Second OPS-CENTER or NOM are free version or need licensed ?

Default for Activity Monitor is to keep info for 3 days  (can be customized).

NBU logs are kept for 28 days. Well, that's the default - it can be customized in Master Server's Host Properties under Clean-up. Restore logs are kept in user-ops log folder.

If you navigate to the master server's user_ops folder under the logs directory, you will be able to find the log files that correspond with the 'View Status' tab in BAR.

Where i can change this ?

'View Status' tab in BAR.

where i can change this ?

BAR = Backup Archive and Restore Window.

Even this info is only kept for 3 days - see Admin Guide I under Host Properties section -> Client Settings (Windows) properties :

Keep status of user-directed backups, archives, and restores
Specifies how many days the system keeps progress reports before NetBackup automatically deletes them. The default is 3 days.

Activity Monitor defaults is also covered in Admin Guide I under the topic: Retaining job information in the database :

It can be changed by editing the registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\VERITAS\NetBackup\
CurrentVersion\Config
or
using bpsetconfig command
or
setting BPDBJOBS_OPTIONS environment variable
