Hello Bill, Thank you for this information, I'll give this a try. I looked through this last night and it appears to be great for what I need. I've noticed that in /opt/bacula/scripts/ from the 13.0.3 binaries there is a baculabackupreport .sh script. I'm assuming that the Python script via GitHub is maintained and the included .sh script is not?
Also, if I have any questions or recommendations in the future, can I reach out to you here or should I contact you elsewhere? Thank You, Jamison Johnson Principal Systems Administrator On 1/18/24, 2:58 PM, "Bill Arlofski via Bacula-users" <bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net <mailto:bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net>> wrote: On 1/18/24 12:24, Jamison Johnson wrote: > I hope this email finds you all well.

Please check out http://github.com/waa/baculabackupreport <http://github.com/waa/baculabackupreport> It is an open-source, free Python script which I maintain. When run daily from a cron job, I am pretty sure it does exactly what you want (and much, much more). There are some screenshots there too. You can even run the script multiple times, pointing to different [sections] in the configuration file to send different types of reports to different people or groups of people. Any and all comments and ideas are welcome.
