Data Protection Summary Report
This report generates a summary of the data protection operations each day; its
focus is to quickly show you when the last data protection operation occurred for
each client. The pie chart shows whether your clients have schedules or not, and
the tables provide further details about the last and next data protection operations.
- If you have regularly scheduled data protection operations, try sorting
your report by the Days Elapsed Since Last Coverage column (by clicking
the column title) to quickly show any lapses in the schedule.
- If you do not have regularly scheduled data protection operations, do the
same thing to identify clients with the greatest exposure. You can do this with
each of the columns for different types of data protection to the same effect,
showing which clients should receive priority for those types of operations.
- The Subclient or DataClassSet / Storage Policy Copy Relationship information
provides details for all the data available on different storage policy copies
per subclient/DataClassSet.
Note that you can exclude those subclients created in command line for
DB2, Informix, Oracle, Oracle RAC and SAP agents, if necessary. This report is useful in determining the following and is divided into two sections
for each agent:
Subclients or DataClassSet Information
- The percentage of clients that have, or do not have, schedules (shown in
a pie chart)
- Time of the last full, incremental, and differential data protection operation
- Time of the next full, incremental, and differential data protection operation
- Days elapsed since last successful data protection operation, using the
Coverage Qualifier Window, which is based on the settings in the
Cell Configuration
(Data Protection Window).
- If SAP backup is run using RMAN, then the data listed as the Last Data
Protection Size is actually the size of the control file, not the size of
the data file.
- For the SAP for Oracle application, the Client Summary:
- displays additional information, such as log, configuration, data,
and control only backup.
- displays Incremental and Partial Full backups as Full.
- For File System Agents, displays whether the subclient was created from
a subclient policy.
- If applicable, the name of the associated subclient policy.
- Whether the subclient is ready for a data protection operation. If the
subclient is not ready for a data protection operation, the reason will be
displayed, e.g., low resources or a network failure.
Subclient or DataClassSet/Storage Policy Copy Relationship
- Storage policy and/or Storage policy copy used by each subclient/DataClassSet
- The subclient's associated storage policy's defined retention rules
- The number of operations and size of the last full data protection operation
- The number of operations and size of other data protection operations (such
as incremental and differential backups)
- The Oldest and Latest data protection operations
Note that for some applications, the categorizing of data protection types into
full and other non-full data protection operations is as follows:
- For the DB2 application - Delta is displayed as Differential.
- For the Lotus Notes Database and the SQL applications - Transaction Log
is displayed as Incremental.
- For all Migration Archiver applications - New Index is displayed as Full, otherwise
it is displayed as Incremental.
- For the Compliance Archiver application - New Index is displayed as Full,
otherwise it is displayed as Incremental.
- For the Quick Recovery application - Volume Creation and Incremental Volume
Update is displayed as Full and Incremental, respectively.
Schedule Policy Information
- Schedule Policy used by each subclient/DataClassSet.
- Description/pattern of the schedule policy used by each
subclient/DataClassSet.
NOTES
The graphs and charts for Quick Recovery Agent differ slightly from
those of other agents. These differences are due to the first Incremental volume
update not being considered as full in the back up model and data protection only
through Incremental volume updates. Hence, the Last Full DP size displays as 0 and
Last Full DP displays as None.
