Go to SolutionScheduled clone reporting
Hi All,
We're fairly new to the Networker world and have just started to perform monthly scheduled clones to an LTO tape library. We'd like to report on the tapes which were used each month and the save sets included on each tape. This would assist the local staff so that they can pull the necessary tapes and send them off-site for safekeeping.
The only place I've found in the GUI with data including clients, save sets, and tape (or volume) is in Media > Save Sets. Is there any other way of obtaining this data? Ideally, we would have a report in NMC, but I didn't see anything that included the tape bar code label. I also understand that there are command line tools available that might be of use for this.
Has anyone else been faced with a similar situation? Can anyone lend advice on how this data can be automated with a script?
..If it matters, we're running Networker v8.2.0.1 on Win 2008 R2.
Any help is much appreciated!
Thanks.

mminfo is the command you want to use. I personally find the volume report useful. Example:
mminfo -q "family=tape,savetime>=01/01/2015,savetime<02/01/2015" -r "client,name,level,savetime,ssid,sumsize,ssflags,volume" -ocnt -xc, > ss_tape_report_yyyy_mm.txt
Ready to to be imported to an Excel spreadsheet.
Of course you can modify the command using the appropriate mminfo options.
IMHO, the save set information is not really required as you have the admin GUI or mminfo for that purpose.
If you set the "location" field in the media db you can also run this report:
mminfo -q "location=safe,savetime>=01/01/2015,savetime<02/01/2015" -r "volume" > tapes_yyyy_mm.txt
