Printing a Backup Statistics Report

After a backup is complete, BRMS can generate a report that will contain important information/statistics about the backup. This report can then be used in comparison on a day-to-day basis. This will enable the user to better monitor how a specific backup is performing as well as indicate when there are problems.

Perform the following steps to print the backup statistic report:

1. Type PRTRPTBRM at any command line and press F4 to prompt the Print Report using BRM display.
