NetBackup IT analytics - NetBackup Catalog Images report

Hello,

I have a question regarding NetBackup Catalog Images report.

In our environment, we have 1 Portal and 4 Data Collectors servers. All these systems are Linux VMs.

IT Analytics is version: 11.4.03.20240627063834          Build: (06272024-0257)

We are running NetBackup v10.4.0.1 both on-prem and MS Azure Cloud NetBackup 10.4.0.1

Product Name and Edition:
NETBACKUP IT ANALYTICS COMPLETE WIN/LX 1 RAW TB ONPREMISE STANDARD SUBSCRIPTION – STANDARD

Our environment comprises 4 Master and 4 Media servers:

  • 2 Master servers on-premises (1 in Production and 1 in COOP)
  • 2 Master servers in Azure Cloud (1 in Production and 1 in COOP)

The installation was completed before my arrival, we are in the middle of customizing several reports.  While I’m very familiar with NetBackup software, I’m completely new to IT Analytics. 

From what I understand, the predefined templates help customize reports. I’m looking for a template I can customize to obtain a Summary of all the Backup images currently available in the Catalog.  Which template could help me obtain this report?

I have looked and played around but can’t find the right template for that.  Please help

    Gabster29   ITA db will only store images that were collected during backup collection (based on activity monitor), and can also run a historic collection (against the catalog), so based on what has been collected, its possible ITA doesnt have a history of whats in the entire catalog.  

    FWIW, there are several DB views that contain the backup_id, mainly apt_v_nbu_job and apt_nbu_image_log.  If you are familiar with SQL, you can write a quick SQL template that can provide you some good data from the ITA DB. 

    Also, we have a reportlibrary  which has a collection of SQL templates that can be imported and easily customized.  One that may help you with minor update is
