Another question. Please forgive my ignorance of this awesome software. Still new to it. I'm trying just to get save set information using mminfo. So I do this:
It says to display all save sets named /usr (/usr is the example)
I am totally ashamed to say I don't know what they are referring to when they say save set. is SSID, client name, server name, etc... I thank you in advance for putting up with me.
Probably they are referring to save set as defined in save set field of the client. In that case what you are querying media db via mminfo in name. For example: mminfo -avot -q name=/var -c client_name -r ssid,client,name,savetime,sumsize,level
The saveset is the data you back up from a client in one go; this is defined in the client resources in the saveset field. This can be an individual folder, a file system, an Exchange database, a Networker index and many other things. Typically you will list the saveset as ALL for a client and will backup the local fixed file systems which the Networker client detects (plus for Windows various system savesets).
Each of these savesets will be recorded in the media database along with various other useful bits of information - things like when it was backed up, its unique saveset identifier (commonly referred to as SSID), what client it came from and so on.
You would probably find it useful to download the command reference guide and take a look at the mminfo command pages as they explain this pretty well.
Networker mminfo shows always all pools if you specifie examp. mminfo -q pool="1 week pool". Duo bug in mminfo/networker spaces in pool name all pool names are returned.
Cool. How do I specify save sets from different clients, like this:
mminfo -S omnia /all or something? I've downloaded command reference and am looking through that
If you wish to specify single saveset for all client then do not filter query on client basis. Based on previous example that would be: mminfo -avot -q name=/var -r ssid,client,name,savetime,sumsize,level
(from there you can grep/findstr per client name).
To list all savesets for all clients: mminfo -avot -r ssid,client,name,savetime,sumsize,level
(from there you can grep/findstr per client name).
You can also specify output format and get it ready for Excel and do whatever you want there too. By reading the mminfo manual and testing out different parameters you should get quickly into it. mminfo is most powerful command NetWorker has (for reporting).
