Track backup data size on your master servers
The Usage reporting application lists the size of the backup data for the NetBackup master servers in your organization. This reporting provides the following benefits:
Ability to plan for capacity licensing.
On a weekly basis, NetBackup gathers and reports usage and trend information.
The nbdeployutil utility has scheduled runs to gather data for the report (enabled by default). For more information, see Scheduling capacity licensing reports.
A link to Usage Insights. This tool allows NetBackup customers to proactively manage their license use through near real-time visibility of consumption patterns.
Reporting for the following policy types.
BigData
Informix
NDMP
Sybase
MS-Exchange-Server
MS-SQL-Server
Oracle
VMware
Hyper-V
MS-Windows
Standard
Hypervisor
NetBackup automatically collects data for the usage reporting, provided the following requirements are met:
The master server (or master servers) are at NetBackup 8.1.2 or later.
You use capacity licensing.
You use automatic, scheduled reports. If you manually generate capacity license reports, the data does not display in the usage report in the NetBackupweb UI.
The following file exists:
UNIX:
/usr/openv/var/global/incremental/Capacity_Trend.outWindows:
install_path\var\global\incremental\Capacity_Trend.outIf you want one of your master servers to gather usage reporting data for other remote master servers, additional configuration is required. You must create a trust relationship between the master servers. You must also add the local master server (where you plan to run nbdeployutil) to the list on each remote master server.
