About monitoring and reporting for cloud backups

Veritas provides several methods to monitor and report NetBackup cloud storage and cloud storage activity, as follows:

NetBackup OpsCenter

The NetBackup OpsCenter provides the most detailed reports of NetBackup cloud storage activity. See the NetBackup OpsCenter Administrator's Guide.

If OpsCenter cannot connect to the media server, it cannot obtain the necessary data for reporting. Therefore, ensure that the following services are up and running on all the media servers that are configured for cloud storage:

  • NetBackup CloudStore Service Container (nbcssc) (on media server versions 7.7.x to 8.1.2 only)

  • NetBackup Service Layer (nbsl) service

Note:

Where Amazon is the cloud service provider, OpsCenter cannot report on the data that MSDP cloud storage servers upload to the cloud.

See Connection to the NetBackup CloudStore Service Container fails.

The NetBackup Administration Console Disk Pools window

The Disk Pools window displays the values that were stored when NetBackup polled the disk pools. NetBackup polls the disk pools every five minutes.

To display the window, in the NetBackup Administration Console, in the left pane, select Media and Device Management > Devices > Disk Pools.

Note:

The information that is displayed for Used Capacity and Available Space is inaccurate in the NetBackup Administration Console. Even if there is data in the disk pool, the value that is displayed for Used Capacity is zero. The value for Available Space displays the maximum amount. You must review the information on the provider website for accurate use information.

Note:

The information that is displayed for Used Capacity and Available Space for Amazon is inaccurate in the NetBackup Administration Console. The values are found under Media and Device Management > Devices > Disk Pool. Even if there is information in the disk pool, the value that is displayed for Used Capacity is zero. The value for Available Space displays the maximum amount. You must review the information on the provider website for accurate use information.
