Need Backup Selection information against each client
Hi
We have 1 master server and 200 clients, 150 policies. Each policy consists of single or multiple client information. Now question we know how many clients are there, but we want backup selection list against each client. For example client A which is running windows having C, d,e drives, we may selected either c or c and d drive. This information will be vary for each and every client.
How do i know backup selection portion against each client. I have tried to get this information using bppllist, bppclients but, these commands doesnot give the information, I have tried to get these from GUI, under policies, but not giving the right information.. The reason the client may be part of multiple policies. so i cannot get the right information.
If anybody knows the information, please do share that. I have contacted symantec, but my efforts are not fruitful.
Appreciate your help and thanks in advance.

I believe you are on the right track
with bppllist. If you execute bppllist -allpolicies -U, and then use cut, grep, awk, perl, etc to extract the information you need regarding the client backup selections. Unless you used "ALL_LOCAL_DRIVES" for each policy, you should be able to get this information from bppllist -allpolicies -U
I'm not much of a scripter, but you might be able to find something someone else wrote in the "downloads" section
Not sure if it will show you everything you need, but
you could try the bpcoverage command. e.g.
# bpcoverage -c client

Highly agree with Andy
I use bpcoverage every year when I do my "audit" to show what is or is NOT backed up.
I don't have to know how to spell....I work on Unix.
thank you very much. It helps
thank you very much.
It helps certain extent, not fully.
more info needed
What's the issue with the information you have? Is there other data that you need it to supply, or is it just that the formatting of the data isn't what you expect? Or is there some other aspect that you're hoping for?

how can I "audit" with bpcoverage i would like to find out list of all active clients that are currently backed up.
bpcoverage -c client (replacing client with my client name prints only that particular) how about if I need all clients)
You'll probably have to script it.
Along the lines of:
for CLIENT in `bpplclients -allunique -noheader | awk '{print $3}'`
do
bpcoverage -c $CLIENT
done

Thanks Andy, not familiar with scripting my environment is windows, and useful documentation I read (basic scripting how-to) for netbackup
You possible need two scripts
You possible need two scripts .. one script will list out policy against a client and next script will list out selection against those policies
use bpplinclude <policyname> -L command to find out backup selection for subjected policy
Yes Amit, i got the answer.
Yes Amit, i got the answer. bpcoverage will drive information, where bpplinclude give what we have selected.
Thankyou very much.
