Martin, Assuming it is a scheduled backup you can query for exceptions from the server. "query event <domain_name> <schedule_name>"
I actually generate a report every morning that lists any/all exceptions for the last 24 hours by wildcarding that query, for example: "query event * * beginday=-1" The above is full command syntax, but can be shortened to something along these ines: "q ev * * begind=-1" (without quotes) The CLI has a great help system that details all options. Hope that helps.... -Rick Adamson -----Original Message----- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager <ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU> On Behalf Of Martin Lischewski Sent: Friday, September 9, 2022 8:01 AM To: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: [ADSM-L] Fastest way to "query backup" * This email originated outside of the organization. Use caution when opening attachments or clicking links. * ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Hello everyone, it is my first time posting to this group, so I am sorry if this question is to trivial. We are using mmbackup to backup our Spectrum Scale filesystems. Because of some bad experience in the past we do not trust the output of mmbackup. Therefore we wrote our own scripts validating the backup state of our filesystems. Basically this is what we are doing: We compare the output of a policy run by gpfs policy engine on the filesystem with the output of: `dsmc query backup -subdir=yes -quiet <filesystem_mountpoint>` The policy engine listing all files is relatively fast. The `dsmc q ba` takes way longer. (3 hours for roughly 36_000_000 entries.) Can you recommend me a faster way to list all files which are in backup?
