Backup History

[ccif1024]

I like to know I have successful (FTP) backups...

Element Manager has a nice screen in Tools> Backup and Restore > Backup Rules > Backup History

Does anyone know of a way to get this through Overlays? Specifically want "OK" or "Failed" --- if I can get it from overlays, I can write a script to alert me with this status.

It should be in your history file every night. LD 22 PRT PHST or AHST.

Here is what they look like in your AHST

Or you could simply look in the FTP destination Directory where the .1 file is the newest, and .10 is the oldest (I save 10 copies on my lab system)

Y:\srtFtpData\E911LabFTP\usr\CS1000_201\CS>dir
 Volume in drive Y has no label.
 Volume Serial Number is F03B-EFDC
