Hi all,
More often than not when you view a backup job in the activity monitor you'll see a lot of lines about the type of job, the client being backed up and at one point the backupid for the backup like the one below.
27/09/2012 03:10:08 - Info nbjm(pid=9312) started backup (backupid=virtora025s_1348711808) job for client virtora025s, policy virtora025s, schedule Daily on storage unit headfap217s-sc5-hcart-tld-16
The problem is I've found that while most jobs show this line some do not, don't get me wrong the backup writes data and does create a backupid as it should but the detail is not included in the job destail for some reason. I've checked for it in the catalog.
Is there any reason why this detail would be omitted from one job and not another ?
I'm seeing this on backup policies with the following config.
Policy Type : Standard
Schedule type :User Archive
Client : AIX
The reason I'm asking is because I've an excel file which uses the output of "bpdbjobs -report -all_columns" to compile a report on all backup jobs ran in the last 24 hours and I'm updating it to include the backupid, it comes in handy when duplicating jobs from VTL to ATL and it's nice to have a full picture so to speak, which we in turn can store for historical information.
Our master server is running Windows 2008 R2 x64 Enterprise with NBU 7.5.0.1
Any ideas why the "backupid" would not be listed ion the job detsails for jobs such as these ?
Regards
Kevin
