While some information has always been retrievable from the daemon logs, it&#8217;s been only basic and depends on keeping the logs. (<a title=\"Keep your logs\" href=\"https:\/\/nsrd.info\/blog\/2009\/05\/15\/keep-your-logs\/\" target=\"_blank\">Which you should of course always do<\/a>.)<\/p>\n<p>NetWorker 7.6 however does bring in recovery reporting, which starts to rectify those criticisms. Now in the enterprise reporting section, you&#8217;ll find the following section:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>NetWorker Recover\n<ul>\n<li>Server Summary<\/li>\n<li>Client Summary<\/li>\n<li>Recover Details<\/li>\n<li>Recover Summary over Time<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Of these reporting options, I think the average administrator will want the bottom two the most, unless they operate in an environment where clients are billed for recoveries.<\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s look at the <strong>Recover Summary over Time<\/strong> report:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/nsrd.files.wordpress.com\/2009\/11\/recovery_reporting_1.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1405\" title=\"Recover summary over time\" src=\"http:\/\/nsrd.files.wordpress.com\/2009\/11\/recovery_reporting_1.png\" alt=\"Recover summary over time\" width=\"500\" height=\"304\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nsrd.info\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/11\/recovery_reporting_1.png 893w, https:\/\/nsrd.info\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/11\/recovery_reporting_1-300x182.png 300w, https:\/\/nsrd.info\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/11\/recovery_reporting_1-492x300.png 492w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>This presents a fairly simple summary of the recoveries that have been done on a per-client basis, including the number of files recovered, the amount of data recovered and the breakdown of successful vs failed recovery actions.<\/p>\n<p>I particularly like the <strong>Recover Details<\/strong> report though:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/nsrd.files.wordpress.com\/2009\/11\/recovery_reporting_2.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-1406\" title=\"Recover Details report\" src=\"http:\/\/nsrd.files.wordpress.com\/2009\/11\/recovery_reporting_2.png?w=1024\" alt=\"Recover Details report\" width=\"1024\" height=\"413\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>(Click the picture to see the entire width.)<\/p>\n<p>As you can see there, we get a <em>per user<\/em> breakdown of recovery activities, when they were started, how long they took, how much data was recovered, etc.<\/p>\n<p>These reports are a brilliant and much needed addition to NetWorker reporting capabilities, and I&#8217;m pleased to see EMC has finally put them into the product.<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s probably one thing still missing that I can see administrators wanting to see \u2013 file lists of recovery sessions.
