Report-Status of backup

Rithesh's picture

HI All

For NBU reports i usually use the reporting section in admin console of NBU server(6.5.2 -Win2k3)
while i try to run report for past week  on status of backup , i am getting error "no entity was found". upto 11th oct the reports are visible.
This was working fine. i dnt suddenly why this has happened?

Cleanup settings on master server is 31 days..

Can anyone guide me to extract these reports to excel sheet over each client's status (means no of 1's ,0's and failed).

Thanks
rithesh

Not sure where your problem

Not sure where your problem is

first double check the date and time on your master server (or the server that has the emm database)

and double check that your report parameters are correct.

I don't have to know how to spell....I work on Unix.

I doubled checked the dates...also logs are available on all the folders...
Only status of backup is not working rest all reports are okay..

Even restarte the services..no luck.....

We do have NOM I think there is no option for exporting the reports....

Thanks

Options on report

are you putting in a media sever or a client?

have you tried it with just one client to see if it works?

On your place first of all

On your place first of all I'll check free space on server.
Sedond step I'll check <NetBackup_path>/logs/admin to see does it collect information.
Third step - check loging settings for OID or  may be somebody add to crom "vxlogadm -d". If you still have problems try to check you nblog.conf. Sometime people damage it and NetBackup going crazy.

Backup status report pulls

Backup status report pulls information from 'error' database.
Have a look at the contents of this directory: ..\netbackup\db\error
You should find a list of files similar to this (my list is from a Unix server with the default of 28):
daily_messages.log
log_1255125600
log_1255212000
log_1255298400
log_1255384800
log_1255471200
log_1255557600
log_1255644000
log_1255730400
log_1255816800
log_1255903200
log_1255989600
log_1256076000
log_1256162400
log_1256248800
log_1256335200
log_1256421600
log_1256508000
log_1256594400
log_1256680800
log_1256767200
log_1256853600
log_1256940000
log_1257026400
log_1257112800
log_1257199200
log_1257285600
log_1257372000
log_1257458400

The only setting that determines contents of this folder is 'days to keep logs' setting on master server.
Is there a possibility that someone is deleting files manually from this folder?
