Output from the NetBackup consistency check utility (NBCC)

NBCC writes the information it gathers to packaged files in the following directory.

UNIX and Linux

/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/support/output
     /nbcc/hostname_NBCC_timestamp

Windows

install_path\NetBackup\bin\support\output
    \nbcc\hostname_NBCC_timestamp

If a supported archive program is available on the host where NBCC runs, NBCC bundles its output files into an archive file. If a supported compression utility is available, NBCC compresses the archive file. Otherwise, the individual output files remain unarchived and uncompressed.

An example of a compressed (UNIX) archive file that NBCC created is as follows:

/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/support/output/NBCC/host1_NBCC_20060814_
164443/host1_NBCC_20060814_164443.tar.gz

where host1 is the name of the host where NBCC had been run.

On UNIX platforms, NBCC supports the tar, compress, and gzip utilities for UNIX file archiving and compression. On Windows platforms, NBCC supports the tar, Makecab, and gzip utilities for Windows file archiving and compression.

A complete description of NBCC is in the NetBackup Commands Reference Guide.
