Data Protection Client 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:

• 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, a network failure, not configured (storage policy not assigned), deleted or uninstalled subclient, or an unknown error. 

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.
