Dell NetWorker 19.9 Administration Guide

Save set History Database

When you manually perform any operations that lead to change in the save set retention time or a save set deletion, the NetWorker records that event in a data audit log (logd server) and a save set history database (nsrmmdbd).

Each entry contains the save set id, clone id, timestamp, details of username, attribute that is being changed, the old value, the new value of the attribute, and the validity period of the entry. The old value and new value will be in the printable representation of the relevant attributes.

The data audit log provides information about the changes that can be used for auditing. The save set history database is a data source for generating customized reports of those changes and this data can be used by programs such as DPA .

For security audit and data audit, when you are changing nsrlogd server with a linux host, ensure that you update the existing windows path with /nsr/logs. Similarly, when you are changing nsrlogd server with a windows host, ensure that you update the existing linux path with C:\\Program Files\\EMC NetWorker\\nsr\\logs.

You can get the report by running the command: mminfo -h -t (start time) -T (end time)

For example, you can get the records of save set changes that are done in one week by running the command: mminfo -h -t "1 week ago"
