NetBackup audit

[Amaan]

Hi All,

Is ther way to audit the changes been made in NetBackup. like, who (which user did what changes)?

If yes, how to do that and does it require license? is ther guide for that?

Thanks!

Your standard license should include it.  There is a command called 'nbauditreport'.  Take a look at that.  It includes all events that happened.

I would also suggest installing OpsCenter and turning on auditing.  You can review changes, but you can also set alerts for changes.  I have mine set to alert me anytime a policy is changed.

You need to enable NBAC (access control) plus auditing. (nbaudit was introduced in NBU 7.0.1 and enhanced in 7.1) After that you can use OpsCentre to create reports.

Marianne,

Is it possible to enable just audit without NBAC?

And how i can do audit from OpsCenter? we have NBU 7.0.1 and OpsCenter 7.1

Thanks!

nbaudit in 7.0.1 can only run limited reports from cmd.

Extract from   7.0.1 Release Announcement: http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH135812
Audit Trails Phase 1 - Track policy changes and restore jobs. Will be CLI only for this release.

More reporting options plus OpsCenter integration starting with 7.1.

According to 7.1 Admin Guide, NBAC is required.
