Where can I get detailed report/log on restores?

Hi all,

I need to start saving restore logs for compliance/audit purposes.

I understand that restore logs are under /usr/openv/netbackup/logs/user_ops/...

However, when I view the contents of the various logs I don't the one major piece of info that I really need: the restore source.

I know the job details (in Activity Monitor) has this info in the form of "restoring from image .... ". But thats not in the logs. Wondering what might be the best way to collect this information.

Thanks

You may consider to use opscenter to monitor restore operations. Opscenter can hold up to 3 month (I think)  of activity monitor logs.

auditing has been default enabled since 7.5, so try to do a "nbauditreport -fmt DETAIL" and see if that provide the information required (I am not near a netbackup installation right now).

bprd log on master server has this info. This log folder must be created if it does not exist, followed by NBU restart to enable the log.

Thanks for the replies.

Did not know about the nbauditreport command, and it does provide the info I need, as well as other "audit" information.

Though in looking into Marianne's reply, I saw userreq_notify being called. I may need a combination of the 2 to satisfy auditors. It seems nbauditreport will record that a restore was initiated, but doesn't necessarily mean it completed successfully.
