Status: Partially Implemented

It would be useful, if we could save our filters in the NetBackup GUI. There are some filters, that help a lot in the daily business. Some examples:

Long running jobs: Activity monitor-> Job State not equal to done, start time before (today -24 hours)
Tapes to eject:Media/Robot->Media Status contains full, last mount time before (today -8 days), data expiration after (today +7 days)
...

Setting such things everyday by hand is annoying. For being able to save such reports, the before/after time functions should be able to work with relative values, not only specific dates like now.

I come every day at work

I come every day at work and always do same filters on daily bases. It would be the way it could save me a lot of waste of time.
Good Idea Frerk!
Regards.

Saving Views

I too would like to have the ability to save views/filters.
You could have different views saved for media/policies, etc....
One for Frozen Media, another for each library, whatever.
It's a pain setting up a view only to have to reconfigure that view because the boss walked in and asked a question. Then I have to go back and reconfigure the view to continue working on what I was doing before.

I sometimes use multiple console sessions because of this

I would love to see a saved filters option.  Sometimes I am working on one problem have a filter setup to identify jobs or tapes or whatever and then need to work on something else, so I end up opening another console session from a different media server or something so that I don't lose the set I am looking at.

Works in OpsCenter today

We've offered this capability on OpsCenter for some time.  Is it closer to what you are looking for?

TimBurlowski,

I believe we are talking about the NBU console not OpsCenter.

My opertaion team will be

My opertaion team will be happy if we can save the filter information. A drop down list will be nice for saved/pre-loaded filter criteria.
