Intrepreting the Savegroup Completion Report

[daniel1965]

Here are a couple of samples I extracted from a Savegroup Completion Report :


Sample #1

Aug 01 10:00:02 legato.com: NetWorker Savegroup: (info) starting GRP1 (with 1 client(s))
Aug 01 10:00:02 legato.com: NetWorker Savegroup: (notice) GRP1 completed, 1 client(s) (All Succeeded)
Aug 01 10:00:02 legato.com: Start time: Fri Aug 01 10:00:02 2003
Aug 01 10:00:02 legato.com: End time: Fri Aug 01 10:00:02 2003
Aug 01 10:00:02 legato.com: --- Successful Save Sets ---
Aug 01 10:00:02 legato.com: clienta.com: All level=skip, 0 KB 00:00:00 0 files
Aug 01 10:00:02 legato.com: clienta.com: index:clienta.com level=skip,0 KB 00:00:00 0 files


Sample #2

Aug 05 12:00:05 legato.com: NetWorker Savegroup: (info) starting GRP2 (with 1 client(s))
Aug 05 12:00:05 legato.com: NetWorker Savegroup: (notice) GRP2 completed, 1 client(s) (Succeeded)
Aug 05 12:00:05 legato.com: hostname resolution failed for 1 client(s)
Aug 05 12:00:05 legato.com: Savegroup failed for the following client(s):
Aug 05 12:00:05 legato.com: client1
Aug 05 12:00:05 legato.com: Start time: Tue Aug 05 12:00:02 2003
Aug 05 12:00:05 legato.com: End time: Tue Aug 05 12:00:05 2003
Aug 05 12:00:05 legato.com: --- Successful Save Sets ---
Aug 05 12:00:05 legato.com: client2: All level=skip, 0 KB 00:00:00 0 files
Aug 05 12:00:05 legato.com: client2: index:client2 level=skip, 0 KB 00:00:00 0 files


I am assuming that "All Succeeded" in sample #1 means the backup of ALL clients in the group was completed without any problems whilst "Succeeded" in sample #2 means the backup of at least one of the clients was completed okay but one or more of them failed. Is this correct?

Plus, I am assuming that had NONE of the backups for a group worked then the message would have been "Failed", though I have no examples of this. Again, am I right in this assumption?

Are there any other "status" messages that might be displayed other than the ones I have mentioned above?

Furthermore, am I right in thinking that an "All Succeeded" line will always be followed a "Start time" line whilst "Succeeded" or "Failed" lines will always be followed by details about the failure(s).

Sorry about all these questions but I am a total newbie at this and am trying to get to grips with the layout/format of this report for a project I am working on.

Yes, this is right.

I think so. However, i do not have an example as well. Do
not forget that you should not really look for a certain
keyword but look at the complete text.

For instance, "All succeeded" does not necessarily mean
that you have ever backed up anything. Look at both examples:
Because you used the default schedule which runs incrementals
throughout the week and you obviously did not change any data,
no files were backed up at all.

-----------------------------------------------------------

Are there any other "status" messages that might be displayed other than the ones I have mentioned above?

Raraely, but this could well be. Do not forget that you usually
will not see such message without a reason. So if there is
no reason, you will not see it.

Yes.
