EMC NetWorker provides a Group resource to automate backups on a group-by-group basis. By setting up groups, you can manage the load on backup servers.
 
Server
The EMC NetWorker server that is managing the backups for the associated group. Click on this link to access Host Details.
Group Name
A group of clients to be backed up. Click this name to view the list of client instances in the Group Detail report.
Start Time
If Autostart is Enabled, the group will begin being backed up at this time.
Interval
The frequency with which autostart will initiate backups.
Autostart
This attribute indicates if the group will be backed up automatically for each time period specified as the interval. Values include: E = Enabled, which means clients will be backed up automatically at the time specified in Start Time; D = Disabled; S = Start now, which means that clients are backed up immediately, overriding the start time.
Schedule Override
NetWorker allows you to override a scheduled backup by selecting a default group and initiating a Start Now autostart.
Status
Backup Status for the group can be one of the following: Running, Idle, Finished, Not Finished (backup exited without completing), Preview Run (test a backup configuration).
Group Detail
Detail reports are related to a specific enterprise object, such as a backup job or SAN fabric. You can only access detail reports through a link presented in the context of a main report, providing additional information that augments the main report. Detail reports cannot be generated, customized, or saved, as they are specific to the report from which they were derived. They are not available in search results.

Click a Group Name.
A NetWorker Group provides the mechanism for establishing which clients will be backed up together and then scheduled for their backups. This report displays the NetWorker Group Control details.
The following NetWorker-specific details are provided in this report.
Group Name
A group of clients to be backed up.
Schedule Override
NetWorker allows you to override a scheduled backup by selecting a default group and initiating a Start Now autostart.
Start Time
When the group backup is scheduled to begin.
Override Level
Override levels can be configured for a specific date in a NetWorker backup schedule, enabling you to override the backup level setting for every client in that group.
Auto-Start
When enabled, this attribute triggers regularly scheduled backups.
Interval
The frequency with which autostart will initiate backups.
Status
Backup Status for the group can be one of the following: Running, Idle, Finished, Not Finished (backup exited without completing), Preview Run (test a backup configuration)
Force Incremental
When this field is set to Yes, if two full backups start within a 24-hour period, NetWorker forces the second one to be an incremental backup. (for an interval attribute of less than 24 hours)
Last Start/End
The last time the group started/ended a save operation.
Duration
Duration of the last group save.
Clones & Clone Pool
NetWorker uses a cloning process to make copies of saved data. In addition to copying the data, NetWorker keeps track of the details of the cloning operation in a client file index and in the media database. When the Clones attribute is set to Yes, NetWorker automatically clones a save set whenever it is backed up. The Clone Pool indicates where the clones are sent.
Auto Restart
This restart attribute indicates if a group should be automatically restarted after an incomplete save operation.
Success Threshold
Indicates the success or failure of the groups save set operations.
Client Retries
You can configure NetWorker to be persistent in cases where a client may be hung. Based on the Client Retries value, NetWorker will make multiple attempts at backing up a client before it moves on to other clients.
Inactivity Time-out
The inactivity (in minutes) before NetWorker determines that the client is hung.
Save Group Parallelism
The NetWorker server can perform simultaneous backups in either of the following ways:
• multiple save sets from multiple clients
• multiple save sets from a single client.
Client Instance Name
