Command Line Interface for NetBackup Reports
Note:
<start_date> and <end_date> syntax: MM/DD/YY
<start_time> and <end_time> syntax: hh:mm:ss
<media_id> is the six-character media identification number
Backup Status Report The Backup Status report shows status and error information on jobs completed within the specified time period. If an error has occurred, a short explanation of the error is included.
# cd /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd
# ./bperror -U -backstat -s info [-d <start_date> <start_time> -e <end_date> <end_time>]
Client Backups Report The Client Backups report shows detailed information on backups completed within the specified time period.
# cd /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd
# ./bpimagelist -U [-A|-client name] [-d <start_date> <start_time> -e <end_date> <end_time>]
Problems Report The Problems report lists the problems that the server has logged during the specified time period. This information is a subset of the information you get from the All Log Entries report.
# cd /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd
# ./bperror -U -problems [-d <start_date> <start_time> -e <end_date> <end_time>]
All Log Entries Report The All Log Entries report lists all log entries for the specified time period. This report includes the information from the Problems report and Media Log Entries report. This report also shows the transfer rate, which is useful in determining and predicting rates and backup times for future backups (the transfer rate does not appear for multiplexed backups).
# cd /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd
# ./bperror -U -all [-d <start_date> <start_time> -e <end_date> <end_time>]
Media List Report The Media Lists report shows information for volumes that have been allocated for backups. This report does not show media for Disk type storage units or for backups of the NetBackup catalogs.
# cd /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd
# ./bpmedialist -U -mlist [-m <media_id>
Media Contents Report The Media Contents report shows the contents of a volume as read directly from the media header and backup headers. This report lists the backup IDs (not each individual file) that are on a single volume. If a tape has to be mounted, there will be a longer delay before the report appears.
# cd /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd
# ./bpmedialist -U -mcontents [-m <media_id>]
Images on Media Report
The Images on Media report lists the contents of the media as recorded in the NetBackup image catalog. You can generate this report for any type of media (including disk) and filter it according to client, media ID, or path.
# cd /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd
# ./bpimmedia -U [-client <client_name>] [-mediaid <media_id>]
Media Log Entries Report The Media Logs report shows media errors or informational messages that are recorded in the NetBackup error catalog. This information also appears in the All Log Entries report.
# cd /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd
# ./bperror -U -media [-d <start_date> <start_time> -e <end_date> <end_time>]
Media Summary Report
The Media Summary report summarizes active and non-active volumes for the specified server according to expiration date. It also shows how many volumes are at each retention level. In verbose mode, the report shows each media ID and its expiration date.
# cd /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd
# ./bpmedialist -summary
Media Written Report The Media Written report identifies volumes that were used for backups within the specified time period.
# cd /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd
# ./bpimagelist -A -media [-d <start_date> <start_time> -e <end_date> <end_time>]
Volume detail (vmquery) There is no NetBackup GUI equivalent for the Volume detail report. This is a command line method to get details for all tapes or a specific tape. This can be used as a complement to other Media reports.
# cd /usr/openv/volmgr/bin
# ./vmquery -a
or
# ./vmquery -m <media_id>
