You can either show up client backup images (bpimagelist): this will server as proof of backups being done to client on specific date in question (provided images do exists) Else perform simple restore for the client from requested date cheers Sami

Precisely. An auditor worth his/her salt, would ask for proof of backups AND restores, each performed on a regular basis. A logged backup means nothing in the world of data protection. There are so many holes in relying on backup logs alone, that it would be prohibitive to attempt to list them al

I would agree with Peter (mostly). I would add that if the image is there AND it's of a similar size to other images of that system, then it's proof. You can have a failed backup that still saves part of its image to the catalog. The other problem with bpimagelist is that it doesn't have the nam

I believe it's a permissions thing. The CIFS share is available to a user, but not to the system account running NetBackup. IFRC, you have to run the NBU service under a user id that's allowed to access the share in question. --- W. Curtis Preston Author of O'Reilly's Backup & Recovery an

It would be a meaningless audit question to ask you to confirm a backup that had expired ever actually existed. Are they asking about something you do with one year or infinite retention? If not then it is proper to say "we don't retain the backups that long so there is no reason to retrain reco

Wayne: If the retention period is longer than 6 months, you can get this information from the bpimagelist command. Proof that an image exists is proof of a successful backup. If the retention period is less than 6 months and you do not have a reporting product or are keeping logs some othe

Unless you have infinite retention backups, the default is to keep the past 28 days of logs/information, I'm afraid you're out of luck, unless someone else has an idea? Justin. On Mon, 2 Jul 2007, BeDour, Wayne wrote: > > Our environment is HP-UX 11.11, Netbackup 5.1 MP3 backing up mostly HP >
