[Veritas-bu] how to find which stream did not back up?

[Allen Jasewicz]

I have multiple NDMP policies that have the "NEW_STREAM" directive in
the file list.  I have been playing around with several of the nbu
commands to script a way to identify which stream did not process.  The
policy set up is similar to this:

 

HOST                      FILES

Netapp                 NEW_STREAM

                                /vol/vol1

                                /vol/vol2

                                /vol/vol3

                                NEW_STREAM

                                /vol/vol4

                                /vol/vol5

 

I have a script that reports on the nights activities, however if
something happens the job will finish with a status code of "1".  It
might have failed after running the first stream vol1, vol2, and vol3
and the second stream vol4 and vol5 will be missed or vice versa. The
backupid may be is similar to netapp_11109897 which will provide all the
stats I can ask for as it regards to whole job without identifying the
stats on each stream.  I am currently playing with bpflist and at best
it seems clunky, otherwise I have found that I need to visit each backup
in question  in the backup and restore GUI to see what was backed up,
also not optimal.  Has anyone come up with a way, efficient or
otherwise, to script out which stream completed?  From that I can
extrapolate what did not succeed.  I am running on UNIX
