Load Veritas Backup Exec events

Cohesity Backup Exec Historic collection uses JDBC connection to query Backup Exec database for capturing all Backup Events data for a specific given time period.

SQL queries utilizes the following Backup Exec Database tables:

  • JobHistorySummary

  • JobHistoryDetail, Resource

  • ResourceContainer

  • Jobs

  • TaskDefinition

  • Policy

  • Device

  • Schedule

  • ComplexTask

Windows:

C:\Program Files\Aptare\mbs\bin\backupexec\buehistoricevents.bat
			

Linux:

<APTARE HOME>/mbs/bin/backupexec/buehistoricevents.sh
			

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

buehistoricevents.{sh|bat} <AdministratorDomain> <AdministratorUser> <AdministratorPassword> ["<Start Date>" "<End Date>"] [verbose]
			

Where:

  • yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss date format.

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

Note:

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