Generic backup data collection

Backup Manager can report on data from backup products that are not native to IT Analytics - such as PureDisk, BakBone, and BrightStor. Using the backup vendor's export feature, create a comma-separated values (CSV) file. The Data Collection process will import the data into the Portal database, to be included in IT Analytics reports, such as the Job Summary report. The data can be scheduled for regular collection intervals.

Note:

In addition to the regularly scheduled data collection, the CSV file also can be imported manually.

See Manually load the CSV file (generic backup).

Note:

If the hosts already exists, IT Analytics displays a confirmation dialog box to update the Host Details (including the Host Type). Click Ok to update Host details / Host Type.
