How to check validcopies in NetWorker 9 with mminfo

How to check validcopies in NetWorker 9 with mminfo:

In your backup environment data clone going to a disk media, I suspect that we are rarely will see a save set with clflg mminfo attributes. The reason is that 'faulty/aborted' save sets will automatically be deleted.

If you want to know whether a save set has successfully been cloned you better check with 'validcopies' mminfo attribute:


mminfo -r "client,name,ssid,validcopies,pool"

or to verify all save sets with only one copy

mminfo -q "validcopies<2" -r "client,name,ssid,validcopies,pool"

Browse and retention time raised Script for multiple SSID

Today I would like to explain How Browse and retention time period extend by Script for multiple SSID

bash-$ mminfo -avot -q "savetime>=02/01/2016,savetime<=03/31/2016" -r client,ssid,group,ssbrowse,ssretent >ssid.txt 2>&1

Select the respective SSID which need to extend and put in to one text file ssid-re.txt. After that run the below script for extend the Browse and retention period;

Today Date : 04/01/2016

bash-$ for i in `cat ssid-re.txt`; do sudo nsrmm -S $i -e "6 months" -y; done

bash-$ for i in `cat ssid-re.txt`; do sudo nsrmm -S $i -w "6 months" -y; done

You will get the error browse time should be less than retention time.

You should mention commands like as 

for i in `cat ssid-re.txt`; do sudo nsrmm -S $i -w "Sun Feb 28 06:16:05 2016" -y; done

After extended the both policy verify it.

for i in `cat verifyssid.txt`; do mminfo -q ssid=$i -r 'client,ssid,sscreate,ssbrowse,ssretent' >>output.txt; done

Friends I would like to share that I am elected as EMC Elect 2016 with another 70 experts from 150 finalists.

This is a very funny incident with me about EMC elect. When I started working on EMC product and I heard from someone that there is one kind of election EMCElect. I was very surprised because I thought EMC is also conducting election like politicians  but after reading about EMC Elect I got to know that this is an honor for EMC expertise.

So that time I was very excited to grab much information about EMC Elect. I always share my knowledge regularly on EMC Community Network, sharing on Twitter too. I also started sharing my technical tips through blogs and on EMC community forum for knowledge sharing.

I was shortlisted For EMC ELECT 2013 but was not selected, and I took it as a challenge and I said to myself that next time I will take more efforts and again participate in 2014 and finally I got first EMC honor in 2014 and again in 2016.

I would like to thanks all who voted me and fulfil to complete this program.

This is unique initiative by EMC and I am really enjoying to participate year again year.

Special thanks to Mark Browne ‏@DathBrun and all known unknown people who were involved in this activity.
