Backup Status Report

[johngiggs]

I am trying to have a backup status report generated daily and mailed to myself. I am running NetBackup 3.4 for UNIX. I know how to create the report with the GUI, but I would like to execute the command from the command line and output it to a file and mail it. Is this possible? If so, can someone please explain to me how to go about doing so?

Thanks,

John

There are several Unix scripts here and more to come.

Here is what I am using:

#!/bin/ksh

if [ -f $OUTF ];then
rm $OUTF
fi

# Main Body of Script

cp c:/srvapps/ActiveBatch/Scripts/printheader.txt $OUTF
echo &quot;BACKUP JOB SUMMARY for `date`&quot; >> $OUTF
echo &quot;================================================== &quot; >> $OUTF
echo &quot; &quot; >> $OUTF
$ADMIN/bpdbjobs -summary -L >> $OUTF
$ADMIN/bpdbjobs -summary > $SUMMARY
echo &quot; &quot; >> $OUTF
echo &quot;BACKUP JOB STATUS for `date`&quot; >> $OUTF
echo &quot;================================================== &quot; >> $OUTF
echo &quot; &quot; >> $OUTF
$ADMIN/bpdbjobs.exe -report > $OUTTEMP
cat $OUTTEMP | sort -r -k 4,5 >> $OUTF
echo &quot; &quot; >> $OUTF

This is called by a batch file that has other commands in it to get additional information:

call d:\veritas\scriptfiles\get_failed_files.cmd
echo %date% > d:\veritas\backupresults\CleaningTapes.txt
echo. >> d:\veritas\backupresults\CleaningTapes.txt
vmquery -mt dlt_clean -b >> d:\veritas\backupresults\CleaningTapes.txt
echo. >> d:\veritas\backupresults\CleaningTapes.txt
vmquery -mt hcart_clean -b >> d:\veritas\backupresults\CleaningTapes.txt
