Re: Unable to confirm the amount of LTO3 media usage on DP 9.00 GUI after scheduled backups complete

When you talk about 'Media Usage', are you referring to how much is on each media, or how many media were used?

 

One handy way is to use the 'omnirpt' function, for example

 

   omnirpt -report used_media -timeframe [start] [finish]          Do not include the [   ] marks

 

So, for example, for the past 24 hours

 

   omnirpt -report used_media -timeframe 24 24

 

Results are sent to standard output.  You can also send this to e-mail in HTML format if you just want a report to look at

 

   omnirpt -report used_media -timeframe 24 24 -html -smtp [e-mail address]

 

My own preference, especially if I need to extract information is to use the '-tab' qualifier

 

      omnirpt -report used_media -timeframe 24 24 -tab -log C:\temp\last_24.txt

 

The output file can be imported into Excell

 

Used_media:

Lists destination media that have been used by backup, object copy, and object consolidation
sessions in the specific time frame together with their statistics. By default, the report is generated
for all session specifications. Use the report filtering options to generate a report only for a
specific backup, object copy, or object consolidation specification

 

There is also a Used_media_extended, which give a littel more information

 

Will this work for you?  Maybe, or maybe this isn't what you are looking for.  I advise you to click on Help -> Giudes in the GUI, open the CLI (Command Line Interpreter) Guide, in Section 1, find 'omnirpt'.  There is a lot more there than I can  possibly talk about

 

Also, nearly everything in 'omnirpt' can be configured as a Report in the GUI, and run as a scheduled actifity
