Reports
Robot Save provides a main menu option for printing reports. Select option 4 on the Robot Save Main Menu to display the Report Menu. From there, you can select the types of reports you want to print. You also can schedule Robot Schedule jobs to print the reports automatically at selected times.
System Reports
The System Report Selection panel lets you select reports detailing the information described in the Setup section of this manual. The System Reports are important to have as a record of how you set up Robot Save in case a system failure causes you to lose the system setup information.
The System Setup Information Report lists the system and media default information you defined during the initial installation of Robot Save. The Backup Class Information Report prints all backup class information, and includes backup sets, their basic and extended set information, libraries, subsystems, and any text attached to the classes and sets. You can print four different versions of the Restore Procedure Report: for a system with damaged disk drive; for a system with damaged disk drive, but ASP not damaged; for restoration from a previous set of media volumes; or to replicate your current system configuration. The Libraries on System Report prints a list of all the libraries on the system, along with their size in bytes. The Library and IFS Objects Selected for Encryption Report lists all the objects on the system that have selected for encryption. The PC Client Administration Report prints PC client information such as the client ID, the directory list status, the most recent save date and time, and each backup class and set that save the PC. The PC Client Directory Setup Report prints a list of the directories on each PC defined to Robot Save.
Disaster Plan
Creating a Disaster Plan is described in the Disaster Planning section of this manual. After you create the plan, you should print copies of the entire plan to be kept both on-site and off-site. Print selected records of the plan to post where they can be read by those who may need to take emergency action. When you update the plan, you can print the entire plan or just the updated records.
Media Volume Reports
The Media Volume Report Selection panel allows you to select the reports described in the Save Media Management section of this manual. The media volume reports give you information about the media you’ve defined to Robot Save—where your tapes are located, tapes moving off-site or returning on-site, forecast how many tapes you’ll need for the next run, what tapes you should use, when tapes will expire, and when they should be moved. You also can print a report detailing all the movement of tape volumes that use automated move sets. The Good Morning report gives you a summary view of system statistics each day.
Object Archive Reports
Use the Object Archive Report Selection panel to select the same report options described in the Object Archive section of this manual. You can print the Object Archive entries for all libraries and objects, all source files, all documents and folders, all PC clients, the Integrated File System (IFS), or Domino servers. Or, you can limit the report to a specific library, object, file, member, document, folder, PC, filename, or server. Or, use a generic name to limit the report to a group of entries whose names begin with the same letters.
Media Storage Reports
The Media Storage Report Selection panel allows you to print lists of all the containers, locations, and move sets defined to Robot Save. These are explained in the System Setup section of this manual.
Write Your Own Save Media Reports
You also can use Query or other report writers to write additional media volume reports. All volume data is contained in the file RBSTV in the library RBSDTALIB.
