Individual Client Backup Configuration Report

Hi,

There may not be a standard report that already does this for you however you can easily create yourself a custom report to do this by doing the following:

- open Report Editor

- open the report "Backup Client Configuration" and make a copy of it with a custom name

- in your copy edit the Report Item called "Client Info"

- the Report Item properties window should open

- in this window double click on the "Backup Server Mapping" data source and select the Conditions tab

- click once on the "Resource ID is Present" condition

- click on the Add Operator button and the operator "AND" will appear just above the existing condition

- click on the Add Condition button and enter a condition of:
Field Name: Client
Operator: contains
Value Type: Variable
Variable Name: Client Name
Default value: leave this field blank

- click OK and then OK again to close the Data Source properties

- now double click on the "Backup Client Config" data source and select the Conditions tab

- click Add Condition and add a condition of:
Field Name: Client
Operator: contains
Value Type: Variable
Variable Name: Client Name
Default value: leave this field blank

- select OK and OK again to close the Data Source properties

- click on the Save button in the Report Item Properties window

- save the custom report and add it to a custom menu so that you can run it from the GUI

When you run this report you will be prompted with a pop-up box for a client/host name and if the client/host is configured on that backup server it will be returned. I have deliberately used the operator of contains in my instructions so that you can enter part of the client/host name and it will try and match it.

Thanks
