Disk-to-Tape reports provide essential information about past and currently running Disk-to-Tape jobs. The displayed Disk-to-Tape jobs properties, the report format and more are controlled by Disk-to-Tape report profiles.
The active Disk-to-Tape profile can be changed through the drop-down
list in the upper left of the screen. For more information about
Disk-to-Tape profiles and to manage Disk-to-Tape profiles, click on the
Manage profiles
action menu.
Whatever the selected profile, the result is displayed as a list of
jobs: the list of jobs matching the selected profile. Each selected job
is displayed as a simple text line split into columns, each column
showing a property of the job. The columns to display are defined in the
profile, so that the user can specify which property he wants to
see. Available Disk-to-Tape properties are listed and documented in the
online help of the Manage Disk-to-Tape profiles
screen.
In the example below, the DEMO d2t profile has been selected, which shows two Disk-to-Tape jobs, with some of their properties: the start date of the jobs, the duration of the jobs (time), the amount of copied data (size), the number of copied files (Nb Files) and the name of the source backup data set.

At the end of each line, two clickable icons make it possible to open specific reports about a Disk-to-Tape job:
