NetWorker clone reports

The Clone reports, available from the Reports task pane in the Console window, allow you to view the history of automatic and scheduled clone operations that have been performed by NetWorker servers for any server version 7.6 Service Pack 2 and later. These versions are unsupported.

Types of NetWorker clone reports and configuration

Four different types of clone reports can be generated:

Server Summary
Clone Details
Save Set Details
Clone Summary Over Time

Be aware that clone reports may not be up-to-date because clone records are gathered by the console server every 12 hours.

The NetWorker clone report category includes basic and drill-down reports for each selected NetWorker server within the enterprise. The Configuration tab allows you to limit the scope of the report that was selected.

The parameters available for clone reports are described in this table. The specific parameters available depend on which clone report is selected.

Table 1. Clone report parameters

NetWorker Server	Select one or more NetWorker servers.	Selected server names.
Client Name	Name of the NetWorker client whose save sets were cloned.	Selected client names.

Within the Clone report category, choose any of the basic reports that are listed in the user interface. Once a report is chosen, the Configuration tab displays boxes with lists of the selected parameters for that report. To exclude unwanted parameters from the report, remove them from the list. Customizing and displaying report output provides information on selecting and removing parameters.

The Clone Summary over Time drill-down report consists of the basic clone reports, which are connected in a predetermined sequence. Drill-down reports provides general information about drill-down reports.

The configuration parameters for the drill-down report are the same as the parameters for the Server Summary basic clone report.

To generate the Clone Summary Over Time report, first specify the same parameters as those in the Server Summary clone report, which is the first report displayed in the sequence.
