Track protected data size on your primary servers
The Usage reporting application lists the size of the protected data for the NetBackup primary servers in your organization. This reporting provides the following benefits:
Ability to plan for capacity licensing.
On a weekly basis, NetBackup gathers and reports usage and trend information.
The nbdeployutil utility has scheduled runs to gather data for the report (enabled by default). For more information, see Scheduling capacity licensing reports.
A link to Usage Insights. This tool allows NetBackup customers to proactively manage their license use through near real-time visibility of consumption patterns.
Reporting is done for all policy types used for data protection.
NetBackup automatically collects data for the usage reporting, provided the following requirements are met:
The primary server (or primary servers) are at NetBackup 8.1.2 or later.
You use capacity licensing.
You use automatic, scheduled reports. If you manually generate capacity license reports, the data does not display in the usage report in the NetBackup web UI.
The following file exists:
UNIX:
/usr/openv/var/global/incremental/Capacity_Trend.outWindows:
install_path\var\global\incremental\Capacity_Trend.outIf the backup data is not available or the usage report is not generated (file does not exist), the Usage tab displays an error.
If you want one of your primary servers to gather usage reporting data for other remote primary servers, additional configuration is required. You must create a trust relationship between the primary servers. You must also add the local primary server (where you plan to run nbdeployutil) to the list on each remote primary server.
