started working on a new&nbsp;eBook,&nbsp;<em>Turbocharged EMC NetWorker<\/em>, aimed squarely at NetWorker administrators who want to get more out of the&nbsp;product from&nbsp;the command line.&nbsp;It&#8217;s not designed to be a&nbsp;replacement to the NetWorker Command Line Reference Guide (or the man pages), but instead highlight various techniques&nbsp;I&#8217;ve learnt and used over the years to get more out of NetWorker.<\/p>\n<p>One of the examples is to&nbsp;take the XML output from mminfo and render it in a&nbsp;more viewable format,&nbsp;and I whipped it up this&nbsp;morning.<\/p>\n<p>A&nbsp;Perl script, I call it &#8216;mminfo2html.pl&#8217;, and it&#8217;s designed to be inserted into the mminfo output stream \u2013 i.e., pipe the&nbsp;XML output from mminfo into mminfo2html.pl, and write the resulting output out to a new file.&nbsp;Following is sample invocation:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/nsrd.info\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/mminfo2html.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-5189 size-full\"

(max-width: 572px) 100vw, 572px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The utility comes with a very basic CSS layout for simplified tables, but you can replace the CSS with&nbsp;any design you&#8217;d like.&nbsp;The HTML output&nbsp;from&nbsp;the command above, for instance, is:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/nsrd.info\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/mminfo2html-output.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-5190\" src=\"https:\/\/nsrd.info\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/mminfo2html-output.png\" alt=\"mminfo2html-output\" width=\"570\"

213w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 570px) 100vw, 570px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Obviously in order to run mminfo2html.pl, you&#8217;ll need an accessible Perl interpreter \u2013 on Linux\/Unix\/Mac OS X
