Collecting missed events for Veritas Backup Exec

Occasionally, there may be data that was missed by the scheduled Data Collection process. For example, the server may have been unavailable for a period of time. Or, you may want to capture data that was available before you actually installed the Backup Exec Data Collector software.

To capture data from a specific period, use the following utility:

buehistoricevents.{sh/bat} {AdministratorDomain} {AdministratorUser} {AdministratorPassword} [{Start Date} {End Date}] [verbose]

Where:

  • Dates need to be in yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss format.

  • Specifying verbose will log the Backup Exec commands called to the eventcollector.log file.

    Note:

    If the Start and End Dates are not specified, the utility will capture Events that occurred in the last 24 hours.
