A question that comes up regularly is “how do I find out the NetWorker version and other details for my clients?”
If you turn on diagnostic mode in NMC, you can get some of these details, but it’s also very useful, I find, to know how to do this from the command line. In the video below, I step through two different methods:
- Connecting to an active client daemon and probing it for information, and
- Connecting to the NetWorker server and probing the information stored in the resource configuration database.
Don’t forget by the way that the second edition of Data Protection: Ensuring Data Availability is out now.
