mminfo: how to display database backup time?
Hello,
[Context]
Networker 8.2.4: I’m trying to restore our database backups using the command “nsrsqlrc”.
[Status]
It’s working but now I’m trying to figure out what the best way to get the “-t” information, for instance “-t "Mon Sep 19 13:40:48 2016"”
I’ve got this line that gives me some information regarding the backup time, but the field “name” gives the instance name, not the database name, so it’s useless.
mminfo -q "client=vmsqlpr02,savetime>=last day" -r "name,level,savetime(22),nsavetime" -ot
Dirty fix: from the client, I can look in nsr\applogs\nsrsqlsv.raw and get the time of the last backup, something like
37996 31.08.2016 13:06:49 0 0 0 4044 6464 0 mysqlsvr.domain.com (pid6464) NSR info The backup of MyDB has completed successfully
Then I can use the backup time information for the “-t”
[Questions]
How can I get the backup times for a given database, ie the equivalent of what you get from “Networker User for SQL Server” when browsing from a different time?
Thanks in advance for any information.

You will see it in MSSQL Studio, but from backup server you can run nsrinfo -n mssql to see it as well. Example of output:
MSSQL:/, date=1473866593 Wed 14 Sep 2016 05:23:13 PM CEST
MSSQL:/msdb, date=1473866588 Wed 14 Sep 2016 05:23:08 PM CEST
MSSQL:/msdb%/files.1473866588.1473866605, date=1473866588 Wed 14 Sep 2016 05:23:08 PM CEST
MSSQL:/model, date=1473866585 Wed 14 Sep 2016 05:23:05 PM CEST
MSSQL:/model%/files.1473866585.1473866600, date=1473866585 Wed 14 Sep 2016 05:23:05 PM CEST
MSSQL:/master, date=1473866583 Wed 14 Sep 2016 05:23:03 PM CEST
MSSQL:/master./PRIMARY, date=1473866583 Wed 14 Sep 2016 05:23:03 PM CEST
MSSQL:/master./PRIMARY./master, date=1473866583 Wed 14 Sep 2016 05:23:03 PM CEST
MSSQL:/master./, date=1473866583 Wed 14 Sep 2016 05:23:03 PM CEST
MSSQL:/master./PRIMARY./, date=1473866583 Wed 14 Sep 2016 05:23:03 PM CEST

Thanks Hrvoje Crvelin for you reply.
Regarding nsrinfo syntax, how can I get the dates with the correct format?
mminfo? If so, which syntax?
Right now I'm using something like
nsrinfo -n mssql mysqlserver | findstr "mydbname" | findstr "14.09.2016"
Is there a more clever way of doing it?
Thanks.

I personally never had to do it so I never bang my head around it, but I guess I would do the same as you and select time which fits me.

Never had to do it ... until the GUI became so slow !!
It takes forever to browse the different backup versions ...
It's way faster to use nsrsqlrc instead.
And nsrinfo just gave me what I needed to make it work, perfect

Hi,
You can check sscreate for exact backup time:
mminfo -q "client=vmsqlpr02,savetime>=last day" -r "client,name,ssid,volume,totalsize,sscreate(17),sscomp(17),group,level,ssbrowse,ssretent,nsavetime" -ot

GUI is slow as it loads all records... I believe recent version of module have switch where you can limit the browsing range which should make browsing via GUI much faster.

Do you know if "Networker User for SQL Server" 8.2.2.0.926 supports it?
Can't find such filter anywhere

Check ftp://ftp.legato.com/pub/NetWorker/NMM/Cumulative_Hotfixes/8.2.2/Cumulative_NMM_SCVMM_8.2.2_Readme.txt
It seems browsing issue was addressed in 1st patch after your build (you can find binaries at ftp://ftp.legato.com/pub/NetWorker/NMM/Cumulative_Hotfixes/

Thanks for the link, didn't think of checking there !!
We've got Networker Server 8.2.2.4.
Should I install this one ?
ftp://ftp.legato.com/pub/NetWorker/NMM/Cumulative_Hotfixes/8.2.2/8.2.2.4/nmm822_win_x64.zip
Or use the latest one?
ftp://ftp.legato.com/pub/NetWorker/NMM/Cumulative_Hotfixes/8.2.2/8.2.2.6/nmm822_win_x64.zip ??
Thanks for your help.
