Checking for Successful Backups in TSM Studio

In this article I will show three ways that you can verify that your Backups were successful using TSM Studio.

The first is from the Events Table

To view the events table goto the Monitor Category and then double click on the Events Dataview

Select the Date Range

The events data is displayed

There are a number of other related views in this Category such as Missed and Failed Backups

View the Backup output from the Summary Table

To view the events table goto the Monitor Category and then double click on the Summary Dataview

Select the Date Range

Use the Filter Backup to just show Backups

Choose Backup

 

Filter the Successful Column to display Backup Jobs that have failed

A list of all the Failed Backups will now be displayed

 

The third way to check is to look at File Spaces

The file spaces dataview can be found under the Storage Category

 

Check the Backup Start Date and the Backup End Date.  If the Backup End Date is less than the Backup Start Date or the Backend End Date is blank then there is a problem with the backup of the Node owning this filespace

 

We also have a specific Dataview to show all suspect File Spaces, goto to teh Troubleshooting Category and select File Spaces where Backup End Date is less than Backup Start Date
