[Veritas-bu] calculating backup success rate
How does everyone track this? Do you count just total successfully backups vs. the number of attempts? And how do you handle a backup that failed 3 times but ran good on the forth?

Re: [Veritas-bu] calculating backup success rate
use a reporting tool like Bocada. It will do that for you. And, if a backup fails 3 tmes and then succeeds, it's considered successful. (I would want to know what happened on those 3 failed attempts so that I could take some corrective action though). --stuart _ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Hindle, Greg Sent: Monday, June 04, 2007 5:57 AM To: NB List Mail Subject: [Veritas-bu] calculating backup success rate How does everyone track this?

Re: [Veritas-bu] calculating backup success rate
Greg, Great questions. I would say that it depends on the audience. Any reporting tool on the market for NBU today can give you this information in different slices. Many clients do track this information and it is a great way to get a quick health check of the environment. If you are tracking this information for Management, I would speculate they are interested on the % of successful backups you ran and if you are meeting SLA's. High level reports of the number successful vs. the number of backups run should suffice. For their level, you may decide to strip out test backups, backups that were intentionally killed, and backups with multiple attempts. But that may depend on your environment and management. If you are reporting for business units, DBAs, SA's..etc, they primarily care about if their backup ran or not. You would probably want to strip out failed attempts, but you might choose to include a report on backups that should have run but didn't If you are creating a report for yourself or other NBU operators, you probably want to look at multiple attempts. This can help you identify potential issues in your environment that could threaten future success of your backups. I don't know if your going to Vision this year, but there are several sessions on backup reporting you might want to check out.
