Monitoring backups

Introduction
You can monitor the status of a running backup with the Backup Status window
on the client PC. To view the Backup Status window, from the Backup
Scheduler window, select View
Backup Status window
The Backup Status window shows whether any files were skipped or copied in
error during a database backup.
If any files are not copied successfully, a minor alarm is generated. Obtain the
Event ID from the alarm in the Alarms Monitor for more information.
Using log files
To verify that a backup was successful, use a text editor (such as Notepad or
WordPad) to check the backup log. The backup log is generated at the end of the
backup, and is stored on the server in the following directory:
D:\Nortel\data\backup\backuplogs
The file name for a backup log is SCCS_Database yymmdd hhmm.LOG, where
yymmdd hhmm are the date and time of the backup (for example, 011117 1415
represents 2:15 p.m. on November 17, 2001).
Note: The contents of the backup log are the same whether you back up to tape
or to a remote directory.
If a database backup is successful, the backup log contains all of the following
messages:
[DATE/TIME] - Starting backup of 'SCCS_Database' to device
'PrimaryServerTape' ...
