Monitoring, Reporting and Notification
Superior web reporting and notification capabilities allow you to easily view the
backup status, monitor active backup operations, and customize reports. Reports
can be generated using the Data Protector GUI, or using the omnirpt command
on systems running UNIX or Windows, as well as using Java-based online
generated web reports.
You can schedule reports to be issued at a specific time or to be attached to a
predefined set of events, such as the end of a backup session or a mount request.
In addition, the Data Protector auditing functionality enables you to collect a
subset of backup session information and provides an overview of backup
operations. Backup session information is recorded to the audit log files.
