all our stuff was on Sun equipment. I think your Idea of loading the binaries on a nix box may be a good way. Let me see if I can find my work. It used to be on deadcat long time ago.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

We are finally migrating out of Tivoli to Symantec's Netbackup. We currently have a backup tab for each client which would report some stats - number of files, number of bytes, and status.<br>
<br>
Looking at doing something similar, however, it seems that most of the status commands are only available to be run on the netbackup master or media servers.
<br>
<br>
I've found the following nagios script: <a href="http://exchange.nagios.org/components/com_mtree/attachment.php?link_id=2566&cf_id=24">
http://exchange.nagios.org/components/com_mtree/attachment.php?link_id=2566&cf_id=24</a><br>
<br>
But in order not to reinvent the wheel, does anyone have something similar? Further, our master and media servers are running windows, which makes scripting a little more challenging.<br>
<br>
If not, if I install the media server bits on a linux box (without registering it on the netbackup domain) would this be enough to query the DB and produce reports? If so, perl or bash would do it.<br>
<br>
Thanks in advance...<o:p></o:p></p>
