Identify Databases Not Backed Up

You can view a list of archived databases that are not yet marked as backed up with the LMArchive utility. The ability to get reliable results assumes that someone has run this utility with the -notify arch option each time archived database are backed up.

Important! To avoid confusion, keep current with notifying CA Enterprise Log Manager of completed backups.

To display the names of all current archived database files not marked as backed up

1. Use your caelmadmin credentials to log on to the CA Enterprise Log Manager server with the event log store that contains the databases that need to be backed up for archiving.
2. At the command prompt, switch users to root, that is:

   su - root
   

3. Change directories to /opt/CA/SharedComponents/iTechnology with the following shortcut:

   cd $IGW_LOC
   

4. Execute the following command, where username and pwd are the credentials of a CA Enterprise Log Manager user account with the Administrator role.

   LMArchive -euser username -epassword pwd -list inc
   

Example: Display All Current CA Enterprise Log Manager Archived Files Not Marked as Backed Up
