Policy List by Client

[JonnyX]

Hi all,

I'm trying to extract my policy list from Netbackup and need to sort it by CLIENT and not POLICY NAME. I've looked at bppllist to see if there is anything I can do with that command, but I can't see anything. We have just taken over the administration of our Netbackup environment and previously we would get a report that looked like the below:

CLIENT <server name>

Policy Name <policy name

Include: ALL_LOCAL_DRIVES

System_State:\

Schedule: <schedule name>

Type: Full Backup

EXCLUDE DATE 0 - 12/01/2007

EXCLUDE DATE 1 - 12/02/2007

EXCLUDE DATE 2 - 12/03/2007

EXCLUDE DATE 3 - 01/05/2008

EXCLUDE DATE 4 - 01/06/2008

EXCLUDE DATE 5 - 01/07/2008

Saturday 00:10:00 --> Saturday 24:00:00

Schedule: <schedule name>

Type: Differential Incremental Backup

Monday 19:00:00 --> Monday 22:00:00

Tuesday 19:00:00 --> Tuesday 22:00:00

Wednesday 19:00:00 --> Wednesday 22:00:00

Thursday 19:00:00 --> Thursday 22:00:00

Policy Name: <policy name>

Include: ALL_LOCAL_DRIVES

System_State:\

Schedule: Annual

Type: Full Backup

Calendar sched: Enabled

SPECIFIC DATE 0 - 04/07/2007

Saturday 00:00:00 --> Saturday 24:00:00

Schedule: <schedule name>

Type: Full Backup

Calendar sched: Enabled

SPECIFIC DATE 0 - 01/05/2007

SPECIFIC DATE 1 - 09/01/2007

Saturday, Week 1

EXCLUDE DATE 0 - 01/06/2007

EXCLUDE DATE 1 - 04/07/2007

Saturday 00:10:00 --> Saturday 24:00:00

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Cheers,

Jon.............

Try:

bppllist -U -byclient clientname

Hi Andy,

Thanks for the quick response !

I've tried this already and it's not what I'm after. I need a command at will show me all clients, not just individuals ones.

A bit more information, I'm trying to set this up to run on a monthly basis for my bosses, so it will automatically e-mail them.

Any other ideas?

Cheers,

Jon........

If there's nothing specific, you could always script it with a simple loop to run thru' a list off all clients.

e.g.
for CLIENT in client1 client2 client3 ... clientn
do
bppllist -U -byclient CLIENT
done

or

cat CLIENTLIST.txt|
while read CLIENT
do
etc etc etc.

You get the idea

Obviously, this won't help if you're not using UNIX

I can imagine that being quite some e-mail!!!

Cheers Andy, I was thinking that it might be some fancy little loop. Was just seeing if there was an alternative before I get my sleeves rolled up
