Media Contents Report

Before running the Media Contents report, select the following report settings, then click Run Report:

The Media Contents report shows the contents of a volume as read directly from the media header and backup headers. This report lists the backup IDs (not each individual file) that are on a single volume. If a tape has to be mounted, there will be a longer delay before the report appears.

Note The Media Contents report does not apply to disk type storage units or NetBackup catalog backups.

The following table explains the columns in the report.

Media Contents Report

Column	Meaning
Allocated Date/Time	Date and time that Media Manager allocated the volume.
Backup ID	Identifier that NetBackup assigns when it performs the backup.
Block size (in bytes)	Size of the data blocks used to write the backup. When multiplexing is used, the block size can vary between backups on the same volume.
Copy Number	Shows the copy number (1 or 2).
Creation date	Date that NetBackup created the backup.
Expiration Time	Time that the backup expires.
File number	Position of the file, where file 1 is the first. If the volume contains multiplexed backups, it can have multiple files with the same number.
Fragment Number	Greater than 1 only if the backup is split across multiple volumes or if the storage unit maximum fragment size is exceeded.
Media Id	Media ID that is assigned when the volume is added to Media Manager.
Retention Period	Period of time that NetBackup retains the backup. An asterisk after the retention period number means that the volume can have backups with different retention levels and that the number shown was the first level assigned. See Retention.
