VDP 6.1 - reports from last week or month

Hello.

In many our environments we use for now:

VDP 6.1

If is possible to generate somehow some report if VM from last week or month successful completed backups ?

Is only possible to configure in "Configuration" tab "Emain configuration" and select some options to send some report after job complete but this is report from one day.

In Reports we see options "Task failures" but task failures would be helpfull but showing information from 72 hours only.

If it possibility to see more failed jobs ? I would like to check this every 2 or 3 weeks for example for reporting purpose.

Maybe can i check this by some SSH command ?

If yo SSH to the appliance and run this command you should get more information on all the jobs:

mccli activity show

mccli activity show only shows last 3 days.

I can think of 3 options for weekly\monthly reporting.  They all have different advantages and limitations.

- Look at postgress database mcdb

- Purchase EMC Data Protection Advisor

- Look at restore points.

* In vsphere webclient VDP restore tab.

* mccli backup show --name={/domain/client}

Hope this helps.
