Backup Central

I am looking for some way to report on the following to try and take out the human element mistakes. So I need a list of all the files, Databases etc… that are on a server, I need to know that we have backed all of these files and then compare each file with what was backed up and provide a discrepancy report. So if a person did not check a certain file or database I need a report that shows that so we can remedy this.

Does anyone have any ideas. We are using the most current version of networker and soon to install the DPA tool from EMC but according to EMC, this product does not provide this kind of report. I am trying to basically get a list of all the files on a server not selected to be backed up and report on this on a regular basis.

Example...


This is what the server has on it
ServerA
C:\
File List
D:\
SQL Instance
SQL Databases
Master
MSDB
My Database
This is what We are backing up
ServerA
C:\
File List
D:\
SQL Instance
SQL Databases
Master
MSDB
My Database

REport that show: Discrepancies between what we have and what is getting backed up from the file level to the database level

Server A
Discrepancies Listed
Server B
Discrepancies Listed
Server C
Discrepancies listed

NetWorker Reporting tool can give you information/reports related to the data that has been backed up on that NetWorker server. You might have to go in for custom scripting in case you want a report comparing the data on the client machine to the data that has to been backed up.

Thanks, for the info. We are hoping that the DPA tool from EMC will provide this
