[Veritas-bu] Backup logs
Hi all. how and where can I check if an old backup went well. What we seems to have is the last 2 months where we can check such a thing but we've been asked to produce evidence of an old backup (older than 6 months) went well. We have NB 7.5 Cheers -- *Alfredo* ___ Veritas-bu maillist - Veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu http://mailman.eng.auburn.edu/mailman/listinfo/veritas-bu

You could restore it somewhere and see if all the data is there (really, that's the best way to verify a backup). Or you could run bpverify on it. - Bluejay Adametz Definition: Unipea n.

Re: [Veritas-bu] Backup logs
Thanks but not have time to restore and also they asking for multiple checks for different days. Any other idea?

Re: [Veritas-bu] Backup logs
Typically if I want to see what backups exist for a given policy I use the following notes: To see which media / backup IDs etc... were used for a given policy: bpimmedia -L -policy policy -d MM/DD/ hh:mm:ss -e MM/DD/ hh:mm:ss (above is all one line) where -d = start time and -e = end time range for the backup(s) you need to find. The policy specified after -policy would be the one you see in NetBackup Java GUI. Note that the range doesn't have to be exact - it can start before the backup and end after a given backup if you only want to check one day - the idea is to set it so that it only gets one backup.

Re: [Veritas-bu] Backup logs
You would need to keep catalog for at least as long as your audit requirements are. I have to keep 7 years catalog to be able to show backups completion status. I don't need to be able to restore all 7 years of data (except Accounting stuff) just prove I backed it up. Auditors are funny that way.
