Additional information on the NetBackup All Log Entries report

For other NetBackup operations, the NetBackup All Log Entries report has entries that are similar to those in the following table:

See Table: Messages in All Log Entries report.

For example, it has entries for image duplication operations that create additional copies of a backup image. The entries may be useful for analyzing the performance of NetBackup.

The bptm debug log file for tape backups (or bpdm log file for disk backups) contains the entries that are in the All Log Entries report. The log also has additional detail about the operation that may be useful. One example is the message on intermediate data throughput rate for multiplexed backups:

    ... intermediate after number successful, number Kbytes at 
    number Kbytes/sec

This message is generated whenever an individual backup job completes that is part of a multiplexed backup group. For example, the debug log file for a multiplexed backup group (that consists of three individual backup jobs) may include the following: two intermediate status lines, then the final (overall) throughput rate.

For a backup operation, the bpbkar debug log file also contains additional detail about the operation that may be useful.

Note that writing the debug log files during the NetBackup operation introduces overhead that may not be present in a production environment. Factor that additional overhead into your calculations.

See the NetBackup Logging Reference Guideto learn how to set up NetBackup to write these debug log files.
