Output

The approach to running File-Level Analytics commands that this page describes is not the preferred method for obtaining this information. The method described on File Level Analytics - Command Line - XML gives you greater flexibility and more information, and we recommend using the XML-based method whenever possible.

Note: File Level Analytics - Command Line - CSV works for Indexing Version 1 only.

Running File Level Analytics

File Level Analytics commands based on getbackuplist can be run on both Windows and Unix MediaAgents. getbackuplist can be run based either on subclient or job ID.

The results of subclient-based commands and Job ID-based commands differ as follows:

Subclient-based commands display file-level details of all files from the latest backup cycle of the selected subclient.
Job ID-based command displays file-level details of the specific job only.

You can specify different parameters to display the results.

If the command line query is run on a client where there is no MediaAgent, any user running the command at the client level is able to run the command against that client only.

The sections below describe usage for both command types and the mandatory parameters required by each.

Usage

If you are using a Windows MediaAgent, navigate to <Software_Installation_Directory>/Base folder from the Command prompt.
If you are using a Unix MediaAgent, navigate to any folder except the root folder /folder name from the Command prompt.
Run one of the following commands.
Subclient Based Command:

getbackuplist -client <client name> -apptype <apptype name> -instance <instance name> -backupset <backupset name> -subclient <subclient name> -outfile <file name> -ma MediaAgent -where <where clause> -format <format string> -patternfile <file name> -vm <Instance> -dbjob -unixtime -commcell <commcell name>

Job ID Based Command:

getbackuplist -jobid <job id> -outfile <file name> -where <where clause> -format <format string> -patternfile <file name> -vm <Instance> -dbjob -unixtime -commcell <commcell name>

Mandatory Parameters for Subclient Based Command

The following parameters are mandatory for the subclient-based query:

client name
app type
subclient name
output file

Example

getbackupList -apptype "File System" -client client1 -subclient sc1 -outfile c:\out1.txt

Notes

If no backupset is provided, the default backupset is considered.
If there are two subclients with the same name on the client, then you must specify a backupset.
If you run a query on a virtual machine, then you must specify the instance name with the -vm parameter.
If format is not specified then full file name, file size and modified date of the file is provided in the CSV format in the output file.
If unixtime stamp is not specified, human readable time will be printed in the output.
If a MediaAgent is specified, the index will be downloaded to that MediaAgent and then the query will be processed on this MediaAgent.
If not specified, the MediaAgent where the backup job ran would be used for processing the query.
If no pattern file is specified everything is considered.

Mandatory Parameters for Job ID Based Command

The following parameters are mandatory for the Job ID-based query:

Jobid
outfile

Example

getbackuplist -Jobid <jobid> -outfile <location of output file>

Help

If you are using a Windows MediaAgent, navigate to <Software_Installation_Directory>/Base folder from the Command prompt.
If you are using a Unix MediaAgent, navigate to any folder except the root folder /folder name from the Command prompt.
Run the following command:
getbackuplist -help

Available Command Parameters

Parameter

Description of Parameter Values

-client

Name of the client on which the data protection job is run.

-appType

Application type of the corresponding subclient.

-instance

Name of the instance in the client computer on which the data protection job is run. Note that this parameter is optional as not all Agents have instances. If your Agent does not support instances, then do not list the parameter in the command.

For all Exchange Agents, make sure to include the instance parameter and specify defaultInstance as the value. Exchange Agents will always use the default instance.

-backupset

Name of the backupset in the client computer on which the data protection job is run.

-subclient

Subclient name of the subclient which contains the backup data.

-jobId

Job id of the job whose file level information needs to be established.

-outfile

File name and location of the output file in which the output will be displayed.

-ma

Fully qualified domain name of the MediaAgent computer. This needs to be the host name as specified in the CommCell Console.

-where

Clause used to run the query.

The following arguments can be used with the where clause.

file_size	Size of files in backup presented in Bytes.
mod_time	The time at which the file was modified. This time needs to be in unix time format. Use any third party converting tool to convert windows time to unix time.
access_time	The time at which the file was last accessed. This time needs to be in unix time format. Use any third party converting tool to convert windows time to unix time.
basename	File name (without the full path) of the file for which file level information is retrieved.

The following operators can be used:

AND - can be used when more than two arguments are used in the where clause.
<
>
==

-format

-patternfile

This is an input file. Specify the location of the pattern file with file name. If - pattern file is not specified, then “\**\*” (everything) is used. If more than one pattern needs to be matched, multiple patterns need to be provided within the patternfile.

Pattern file can contain patterns based on the wild card support. See Wildcards for detailed information.

-vm

Name of the instance.

-unixtime

If used, time in output file will be displayed in unix time format.

-commcellid

This parameter is used with queries based on job id.

-commcell

CommCell name which holds the client. This parameter works with subclient based queries.

–dbjob

Used to get the backup list for databases (Oracle, Sybase, Informix,DB2, SAP for Oracle). This works along with -jobId parameter.

Note: If using MS SQL, see GetSQLJobList.

Examples of Client Name and Subclient Name Based Commands

Following are some examples of client name and subclient name-based commands using getbackuplist. These command use a combination of client name, subclient name and backupset, and the combination remains unique within the CommCell. However, if no BackupSet name is provided, it is assumed that the default BackupSet is used.

All Files Backed Up by A Subclient

You can use the following examples to display file level information of a subclient from the default Backup Set, when no Backup Set name is provided. By default, the output will contain full file path size and the modified date if no format is provided. The output contains all of the data that has been backed up in the latest cycle for the subclient.

File Name, Modified Time, Access Time, File Size and the MediaAgent to Use

You can use the following examples on any client to get a list of files from the latest index on the MediaAgent that you specify. This query displays the file name, modified time, access time, and file size in the output. If the index for the last cycle is present on the specified MediaAgent, then the query runs on that index. If there is no index on the specified MediaAgent, the latest index will be restored and then queried.
