Need help figuring out backup time for one client

[web4fun]

Networker: 6.1.1
Windows 2000 Server SP3

Does any know how I can figure out how long backups are taking for one client within one of my groups? I have already checked out the various logs and tried all kinds of queries using 'mminfo' but I've only been able to get mminfo to report the creation date and completion date but not the start time and completion time. HELP!!!

Trying using a product called nsrmgr. (Search in Google for it)
It provides the backup through put, the Save and completion time PER CLIENT and whole bunch of other stuff.
Other wise you could check the completion notice.
It will say something like
Client: C:\ level=full, 3852 MB 00:48:48 22525 files
So, the time it took to backup the C:\ drive was 48 minutes.
Only problem with this is that if it has to wait for a tape it is included in this time, so if it waits 3 hours to load a tape the time would be 3 hours and 48 minutes.
Not the best way of reporting it but it A way.
Try nsrmgr though.

Check out the Network Savegroup Summarizer. It's a Perl script(?s) that will gather some of this kind of information for you. There's an article about it by John Stoffel, the script's author, in the April 2003 issue of SysAdmin magazine.

Unfortunately I haven't tried it myself, so I don't how well it works.

Hope this helps.
