Tape Query 1

[Mykul]

Is it possible to run a command that will list which tapes in the media data base(volumes) have incremental backups and full backups? Thanks in advance.

Here are the two quick n' dirty to do what you want:
[tt]
mminfo -q "level=full" -r "volume,type,pool"

mminfo -q "level=incr" -r "volume,type,pool"
[/tt]
Look in the Command Reference Guide for the mminfo command to further tune them as you need.

Output example (from Unix system):
[tt]
bash-2.05$ mminfo -q "level=full" -r "volume,type,space(9),pool"
volume type pool
000101 LTO Ultrium-2 Special Archive
000103 LTO Ultrium-3 Offsite Clone
000104 LTO Ultrium-3 Offsite Clone
000105 LTO Ultrium-3 Offsite Clone
000106 LTO Ultrium-3 Offsite Clone
...
[/tt]

Cool. I am not very versed with commands for Networker. Question though, whe I run the command for full does that include the index or is the index backedup at a different level?

 

[Mykul]

Now that I compare the out put for full and incremental I see that I need a way of excluding System DB, System State and ASR full backups. Is that possible?

No. In this case you must filter the output for what you want to see.

Ok, thanks for your help!
