About NetBackup status reports

NetBackup provides many standard status reports to verify the completion of backup and restore operations. In addition, users and the administrator can set up additional reports if a site requires them.

The administrator has access to operational progress reports through the NetBackup Administration Console. Reports can be generated for Status of Backups, Client Backups, Problems, All Log Entries, Media Lists, Media Contents, Images on Media, Media Logs, Media Summary, and Media Written. These reports can be generated for a specific time frame, client, or master server.

See the NetBackup Administrator's Guide, Volume I for details.

Progress reports on the client allow easy monitoring of user operations. When reports are created by the NetBackup client for each user-directed backup or restore operation, administrators can monitor these operations and detect any problems that may occur.
