Backup logs presence

Unfortunately not. As these processes are server initiated, the appropriate logs will exclusively be stored on the NW server. Of course you could remotely login to the NW server to get access of those.

Another possibility is to remotely login to the NW NMC server to get visual access of the NW process details.

 

What is you goal? Who should be able to see what wrg to backup results? The OS admins for filesystem backups?

As already stated logs are mainly kept on NW server end. For NW module backups, you might see the result in the NW application logs or the actual database logs.

Wrg to filesystem backups however, you have to be on or talk to the NW server.

mminfo queries on client end, would show you what is in backup, but doesn't state as much about if a backup as a whole has succeeded or not.

On or towards the NW server you can :
- use the logs

- use NMC (either local NMC or on another server)

- use NW NWUI (either local NMUI or on another server)

- the nsrpolicy command to query for the state of the last workflow run

- you can talk to the rest-api if you have nw9 or higher, so with for example Power shell or curl you can create calls to NWserver port 9090 to report about the state of workflows and the backup and/or clone actions. For Networker rest-api options and how to call them see: https://developer.dell.com/apis/2378/versions/v3/docs/GettingStarted.md

- you can create a DPA report stating the backup results and their status message

- you can use Dell DPC appliance to have a dashboard for managing Networker, data domain, avamar and ppdm.
