RE: [Veritas-bu] Logging backup time and manually restarting one stream

Title: Message

Thanks Simon I usually do option 2 : Re-run your existing policy, and simply kill off the streams you do not need - Was wondering if there was any other way other than that - Will try your option 1   And about the how long a stream takes - I keep all the job details in the job DB for only 3 days - If I need to find out how long it takes to run a backup which was done 1 week back after 4 days - I can't see it on activity monitor as it gets cleaned up every 3 days. For example We have Full's running during weekends and Incr's during weekdays  - Say I need to find out the time it takes to backup a FULL backup on a Thursday (which was done 4 days back) - Its no more in the activity monitor Thanks again, Smitha   -----Original Message----- From: WEAVER, Simon [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, March 20, 2006 2:29 AM To: Pillapalem, Smitha; veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu Subject: RE: [Veritas-bu] Logging backup time and manually restarting one stream Smitha In regards to re-starting one stream, what I either do is:   1) Create a new Policy with all the same settings as my existing policy and configure for the 1 stream that failed 2) Re-run your existing policy, and simply kill off the streams you do not need.   In regards to how long a stream takes, doesnt Activity Monitor show you this when you double click on a job?     Simon Weaver Technical Support Windows Domain Administrator EADS Astrium Tel: 02392-708598 Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----Original Message----- From: Pillapalem, Smitha [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 17 March 2006 19:42 To: veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu Subject: [Veritas-bu] Logging backup time and manually restarting one stream Hi, Environment - NB 5.1 MP 3 running on Hp -UX Is there a possibility to check the backup time of a specific stream within a policy.  For each drive we specify a new stream. Is it possible to get information about the start/end time and amount of data of each stream? Are there any commands I can use in scripts to retrieve performance data?   And also is there a way to manually restart one particular stream without restarting all streams - In detail, Sometimes I see that one particular stream would fail ( due to media issue or something else) and rest of the backup streams for the same client run successfully. Next day morning when I come in, I just want to start the failed stream without restarting all streams for that particular client. Any help is appreciated!!
