Veritas NetBackup, a leading enterprise level data backup suite, can be more closely monitored with the use of a NetBackup reporting tool.
Today, companies are realizing the need to implement systems which give IT departments centralized storage management capabilities over the entire data center.
Many of these backup management and reporting solutions come with a full range of features that enable fast and convenient creation and dissemination of backup environment reports.
A backup management platform allows novice and advanced users alike to generate in-depth reports for their NetBackup or other data recovery solutions.
For end users, a wide array of ready-to-use templates can be easily customized to create comprehensive reports.
More advanced users, on the other hand, can utilize reporting tools that use the Structured Query Language (SQL) database language.
With the SQL report designer, they can generate more complex reports.
The availability of a drag and drop dashboard system can also greatly simplify the process of creating and managing reports.
Aside from fast creation of reports, an effective NetBackup reporting and management platform should also allow users to conveniently share the information to management or other users who might need to view it within their organization.
For instance, it may feature a toolbar that allows users to distribute reports and dashboards with a few simple mouse clicks.
Another way to quickly share backup and storage capacity reports is through email, which may be sent on-demand or on a recurring schedule.
The system should be able to generate or save reports in the most popular formats, such as Microsoft Excel, CSV, or HTML.
This makes it easier for other users and IT managers to access the data backup reports, and make informed decisions for storage capacity planning.
