Table of NetBackup All Log Entries report

Table: Messages in All Log Entries report describes messages from the All Log Entries report.

The messages vary according to the locale setting of the primary server.

Table: Messages in All Log Entries report

Entry

Statistic

started backup job for client <name>, policy <name>, schedule <name> on storage unit <name>

The Date/Time column for this entry show the time at which the backup job started.

successfully wrote backup id <name>, copy <number>, <number> Kbytes

For a multiplexed backup, this entry shows the size of the individual backup job. The Date/Time column indicates when the job finished writing to the storage device. The overall statistics for the multiplexed backup group are found in a subsequent entry. These statistics include the data throughput rate to the storage device,

successfully wrote <number> of <number> multiplexed backups, total Kbytes <number> at Kbytes/sec

For multiplexed backups, this entry shows the overall statistics for the multiplexed backup group including the data throughput rate.

begin writing backup id <name>, copy <number>, fragment <number>, destination path <name>

The Date/Time column for this entry shows when the restore job began reading from the storage device.

successfully wrote backup id <name>, copy <number>, fragment <number>, Kbytes at <number> Kbytes/sec

For non-multiplexed backups, this entry combines the information in the previous two entries for multiplexed backups. The single entry shows the following:

  • The size of the backup job

  • The data throughput rate

  • When the job finished writing to the storage device (in the Date/Time column ).

the requested operation was successfully completed

The Date/Time column for this entry shows the time at which the backup job completed. This value is later than the "successfully wrote" entry (in a previous message): it includes extra processing time at the end of the job for tasks such as NetBackup image validation.

begin reading backup id <name>, (restore), copy <number>, fragment <number> from media id <name> on drive index <number>

The Date/Time column for this entry shows when the restore job started reading from the storage device. (Note that the latter part of the entry is not shown for restores from disk, because it does not apply.)

successfully restored from backup id <name>, copy <number>, <number> Kbytes

For a multiplexed restore, this entry shows the size of the individual restore job. (As a rule, all restores from tape are multiplexed restores, because non-multiplexed restores require additional action from the user.)

The Date/Time column indicates when the job finished reading from the storage device. The overall statistics for the multiplexed restore group are found in a subsequent entry below. These statistics include the data throughput rate.

successfully restored <number> of <number> requests <name>, read total of <number> Kbytes at <number> Kbytes/sec

For multiplexed restores, this entry shows the overall statistics for the multiplexed restore group, including the data throughput rate.

successfully read (restore) backup id <name>, copy <number>, fragment <number>, <number> Kbytes at <number> Kbytes/sec

For non-multiplexed restores, this entry combines the information from the previous two entries for multiplexed restores. The single entry shows the following:

  • The size of the restore job

  • The data throughput rate

  • When the job finished reading from the storage device (in the Date/Time column)

As a rule, only restores from disk are treated as non-multiplexed restores.
