Appendix C
Client Backup Coverage Utility
The client coverage backup utility can produce three reports that gather various types of information about the clients being
backed up by the server. The reports are:
• System Backup Coverage Report
• Class Hardware/OS Report
• Hosts Report
The File System Backup Coverage Report detects file systems that are not backed up by any class and file systems that are
backed up by more than one class. Currently, this report is only supported for UNIX clients.
The Class Hardware/OS Report displays hardware and operating system information for clients. The Hosts Report indicates
which hosts are in a NetBackup class on the server.
The new check_coverage script can be found in /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/goodies.
Refer to the example reports below.
