Group Detail

Detail reports are related to a specific enterprise object, such as a backup job. You can only access detail reports through a link presented in the context of a main report, providing additional information that augments the main report. Detail reports cannot be generated, customized, or saved, as they are specific to the report from which they were derived. They are not available in search results.

Explore your data center using IT Analytics customizable report templates or by using parts of your IT infrastructure as entry points. Use Search to find reports, templates and dashboards across the portal.

Use the Reports tab to examine the IT Analytics catalog of templates, dashboards and reports - organized by products along with user-created, and system folders. The main report is located here:

Backup Manager > Backup Policies > NetWorker Groups

Click a Group Name.

A NetWorker Group provides the mechanism for establishing which clients will be backed up together and then scheduled for their backups. This report displays the NetWorker Group Control details.

The following NetWorker-specific details are provided in this report.

Table: Group Detail

Column name

Description

Group Name

A group of clients to be backed up.

Schedule Override

NetWorker allows you to override a scheduled backup by selecting a default group and initiating a Start Now autostart.

Start Time

When the group backup is scheduled to begin.

Override Level

Override levels can be configured for a specific date in a NetWorker backup schedule, enabling you to override the backup level setting for every client in that group.

Auto-Start

When enabled, this attribute triggers regularly scheduled backups.

Interval

The frequency with which autostart will initiate backups.

Status

Backup Status for the group can be one of the following: Running, Idle, Finished, Not Finished (backup exited without completing), Preview Run (test a backup configuration)

Force Incremental

When this field is set to Yes, if two full backups start within a 24-hour period, NetWorker forces the second one to be an incremental backup. (for an interval attribute of less than 24 hours)

Last Start/End

The last time the group started/ended a save operation.

Duration

Duration of the last group save.

Clones & Clone Pool

NetWorker uses a cloning process to make copies of saved data. In addition to copying the data, NetWorker keeps track of the details of the cloning operation in a client file index and in the media database. When the Clones attribute is set to Yes, NetWorker automatically clones a save set whenever it is backed up. The Clone Pool indicates where the clones are sent.

Auto Restart

This restart attribute indicates if a group should be automatically restarted after an incomplete save operation.

Success Threshold

Indicates the success or failure of the groups save set operations.

Client Retries

You can configure NetWorker to be persistent in cases where a client may be hung. Based on the Client Retries value, NetWorker will make multiple attempts at backing up a client before it moves on to other clients.

Inactivity Time-out

The inactivity (in minutes) before NetWorker determines that the client is hung.

Save Group Parallelism

The NetWorker server can perform simultaneous backups in either of the following ways:

  • multiple save sets from multiple clients

  • multiple save sets from a single client.
