Policy reports

NMC provides two types of reports that provide information about Policy resources: Policy Summary reports, and Policy Summary over time reports.

Policy Summary

A basic report that provides information that is gathered from the media database and client file indexes about data that are generated by backup and clone actions in all workflows that are associated with a Policy resource. The reported Information includes the following statistics:

  • NetWorker server—Name of the NetWorker server.
  • Policy—Name of the Policy resource.
  • File count—Total number of files.
  • Save Sets Count—Total number of save sets that are stored in the media database.
  • Amount of data—Total size of backup data that is stored on media.
  • Target size— Size of the save set on the target backup or clone device. When the target device is a Data Domain device, the value represents the size of the data after deduplication. When the target device is an AFTD device, the value is the same size as the original save set size.
  • Deduplication ratio— Deduplication ratio for the data.
  • Clone count—Total number of clone save sets that are stored in the media database.
  • Clone size—Total size of cloned data that is stored on media.

Policy Summary over time

Drill-down reports that provide a point-in-time basic report about the data that are generated by backup and clone actions in all workflows that are associated with a Policy resource. You can generate the following types of drill-down reports:

  • Policy Summary—A basic report that provides a summary of all policies that are associated with the selected NetWorker servers.
  • Monthly Summary—A summary of monthly activities for the policy that you selected in the Policy Summary report.
  • Daily Summary—A summary of daily activities for the month that you selected in the Monthly Summary report
  • Client Summary—A summary of client information for the day that you selected in the Daily Summary report.
  • Save Set Details—A summary of information for each save set generated for the client that you selected in the Client Summary report.

Report parameters

The Parameters section allows you to define the selection criteria to generate a customized report:

  • NetWorker server—By default, the report generates information about all the NetWorker servers that are managed by the NMC server. The Server Name Selected field provides a list of NetWorker server on which to report information. The Server Name Available field provides a list of NetWorker servers for which you do not want to report information about. Use the Add, Add All, Remove, and Remove All buttons to modify the list of NetWorker servers on which to report.
  • Policy— By default, the report generates information about all policies that are configured on each NetWorker server. The Policy Name Selected field provides a list of policies on which to report information. The Policy Name Available field provides a list of policies for which you do not want to report information about. Use the Add, Add All, Remove, and Remove All buttons to modify the list of Policy resources on which to report.
  • Workflow start and end times— By default the report generates information about all workflows that started within one day of the current time. Use the From and To arrows to select a new date range.
