About the Breakup Jobs option
This section describes the NetBackup-specific Breakup Jobs option that you can set in OpsCenter while adding a primary server. With the Breakup Jobs option, detailed file-level information like size and backup file count for each backup selection (associated with a NetBackup job) is collected and displayed as a part of custom reports in OpsCenter. The Breakup Jobs functionality is most effective if you have multiple backup selection lists in the NetBackup policy.
You can either enable or disable the breakup job option for primary servers. When the Breakup Jobs option is enabled, OpsCenter collects a greater level of job detail at a file-system level. In addition to other job attributes, OpsCenter collects job attributes like size, file count, and directory name from the primary server. For example, when the Breakup Jobs option is enabled, you can see how much data was backed up per file system.
See Settings > Configuration > NetBackup > Add Primary Server options.
The Breakup Jobs functionality is disabled by default for primary servers. To enable the Breakup Jobs functionality for primary servers, you must configure the scl.conf
file.
See Configuring the Breakup Jobs option for primary servers.
Note:
Enabling the Breakup Jobs option increases the load on the primary server, and the time it takes to gather and load data in OpsCenter.
You can also configure the jobs for which you want to collect breakup job information. The job selection is based on the maximum number of files that a job backs up. By default, breakup job information is not collected for the jobs whose file count is greater than 1000000. This applies to all primary server versions.
See Configuring the Breakup Jobs option for primary servers.
Review the following considerations with respect to the Breakup Jobs functionality:
The Breakup Jobs functionality is specific to NetBackup and does not apply to any other product.
The Breakup Jobs data collection only happens for the jobs that are collected after you upgrade to OpsCenter. The breakup jobs data is not collected for the jobs that already exist in the OpsCenter database.
The Breakup Jobs data collection happens through image IDs. It is recommended that you enable image data collection for the primary server if you want to collect the breakup jobs data. The image data collection happens automatically by NBSL.
You can enable image data collection while adding a primary server.
See Adding a primary server or an appliance primary server in the OpsCenter console.
The Breakup Jobs option is only valid for the backup jobs whose Job State is Done.
The breakup jobs data is collected directly from the primary server by NBSL.
Data for the breakup jobs is collected from NetBackup after every 15 minutes.
The Breakup Jobs functionality applies to OpsCenter Analytics only. The Breakup Jobs functionality cannot be used with OpsCenter (free version).
If you were using OpsCenter and applied the appropriate license keys for the licensed version (OpsCenter Analytics), breakup jobs may still not be displayed. To display breakup jobs, you must disable and then enable data collection for the primary server from Settings > Configuration.
See Controlling data collection for a primary server in OpsCenter.
