Backup Central

Hello.

Having a look at the "Activity Monitor", I see that there are only 34
Jobs listed, with the oldest job from 03/07/2008.

I'm using the 6.0 MP4 Java GUI on Solaris.

Why are there only so few jobs listed?

Thanks,

Alexander

By default, the GUI will only show the last 3 days of backup jobs. Use the bpdbjobs command to change this value:

/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/bpdbjobs -clean -keep_days <number of days>

See technote below for more info

I think alternatively you can also put in the registry (for windows) or the bp.conf (for UNIX) the KEEP_JOBS_HOURS and KEEP_JOBS_SUCCESSFUL_HOURS since bpdbjobs -clean is busted on Windows in v6.0_MP4.

I previously (pre 6.x) had this set to "a couple of weeks" it may have
even been a month.

Never had any issues with it, although I do aknologe the java gui did
get slow.

If you are using VBR under 6.5 (I never ran 6.0, it may be the same) The
agent would timeout after 15 minutes, and the bpdbjobs command it ran
took over 25 minutes.

I received a patch from nbu support for the java VBR agent to enable me
to set a timeout value for the agent.

Something to be aware of.


Adam.

We are running v6.0_MP5 on Win2k3; after reading what echum wrote, I ran (bpdbjobs -clean -keep_days 1)on our Win master server and it worked great.
