Active elapsed

The time since the most recent attempt became active.

Active start

The time when the most recent attempt became active.

Attempt

The selector for the attempt number. Used to display detailed information for the selected attempt if NetBackup tried more than once. This field is disabled if there is only one attempt. (Detailed Status tab)

Attempt elapsed

The elapsed time for this attempt. (Detailed Status tab)

Attempt ended

The time when this attempt ended. (Detailed Status tab)

Attempt started

The time when this attempt began. (Detailed Status tab)

Client

The name of the client associated with the job.

Data movement

Distinguishes between synthetic backups (Synthetic), standard backups (Standard), and disk staging (Disk Staging).

Elapsed time

The amount of time that has elapsed since the job was initially queued.

End time

The date and time that the operation was completed.

Files

The number of files written for the last backup of the policy and schedule. (Detailed Status tab)

Job ID

The identifier that NetBackup assigns to each job. The identifier is unique on the server where the job was run.

Job PID

The process ID. If the backup is multiplexed, all jobs associated with the same multiplexed storage unit have the same PID. (Detailed Status tab)

Job state

Queued: Jobs in the NetBackup scheduler queue. A queued restore job is one for which NetBackup is still determining which files are needed.

Active: Currently active jobs.

Requeued: Jobs that are placed back in the scheduler queue as retries because the previous attempt was unsuccessful.

Incomplete: Backup or restore jobs that have failed with a resumable error. Look in the Activity Monitor to determine if the failed job requires manual intervention. After correcting the problem, the administrator may resume the job. When a job is resumed, it retains the same job ID. A job may remain in the Incomplete state for a limited time before being set to Done, after which the job is no longer resumable. See Move Restore Job From Incomplete State to Done State and Move Backup Job from Incomplete State to Done State.

Suspended: Backup or restore jobs that have been suspended by the NetBackup administrator. Suspended jobs do not display a status code.

Done: Completed jobs.

KB per second

The data transfer rate in kilobytes per second. (Detailed Status tab)

KB per second

The average data transfer rate in kilobytes per second over the length of the current attempt. (Detailed Status tab)

Kilobytes

The number of kilobytes that have been written.

Master

The master server on which the job is run.

Media to eject

The number of tapes to be ejected for the selected Vault job. The number may not represent the number of tapes actually ejected. For example, if the Vault profile was configured for manual eject, the tapes may not have yet been ejected. Or, if something went wrong with the device, fewer tapes may actually have been ejected than the number here indicates.

Media server

The NetBackup server controlling the media. (Detailed Status tab)

Operation

For Active jobs, this indicates the operation that is currently being performed.

Owner

The owner of the job.

Parent

When Vault is used, each child job refers to the parent job by this number. The Parent Job ID for a parent job is 0.

Pathname

For Active jobs, this is the path of a file that was recently written to the image. If the job is backing up many files, not all of them necessarily appear in this column over the course of the backup.

% complete (estimated)

The percentage of the job that is complete. For backups, it is based on the size of the previous backup for the same policy, client, schedule, and retention period. If there is no previous backup that matches this criteria then NetBackup does not provide an estimate. If the current backup is larger, this indication is 100%. For other types of jobs, the estimate is based on other factors.

Policy

The name of the policy that NetBackup is using to back up the client. If the policy is associated with a disk staging storage unit, the name follows the convention:
__DSSU_POLICY_storageunitname.

Profile

The name of the profile that defines the processing to be done by a Vault job. Multiple profiles can be configured for the Vault. (Appears for Vault jobs only.)

Robot

The robot used for a Vault job. (Appears for Vault jobs only.)

Schedule

The name of the schedule that NetBackup is using to back up the client.

Schedule type

The type of schedule controlling the backup. For example, Full or Cumulative-Incremental. Unknown schedule type refers to a schedule associated with a disk staging storage unit.

Session ID

The session ID, a unique numeric value, for a Vault session. Session ID assignment starts at 1 the first time a Vault session is run after Vault has been installed. The value increments by one every time a new Vault session runs.

State

The current state of the job.

Start time

The date and time that the first attempt was initially queued.

Status

• On the Job Overview tab: Status code and text describing the completion status of each job attempt. A status of zero (0) means that the job completed successfully. Any other completion value for status indicates a problem.
• On the Job Details tab: Events that have occurred up to this point. For example, this box contains entries for when the client connects to the server and when the server begins writing data. When the job is complete, the last line shows the completion status.

Storage unit

The name of the storage unit that the job is using. (Detailed Status tab)

Type

The type of backup: scheduled, user-directed, immediate (manual backup), or archive.

Vault

The name of the logical Vault for a robot configured through the Vault Management node. (Appears for Vault jobs only.)
