 ====== Data Extraction From Source ====== ====== Data Extraction From Source ======
  
 +Data is extracted from your backup software and saved into a Sync source file.  The Sync source file is then read into the synchronization process using a definition file to translate the information to TapeTrack formatting.
  
 +===== Extracting Information =====
 + 
 +The source file information extract will vary depending on your backup software.
  
 +==== Data Extraction From BackupExec ====
  
-<- sync:fields| Sync Fields ^ sync:introduction|introduction ^  ->+ 
 +The CSV report in BackupExec is created by running a PowerShell script and output to CSV file. 
 + 
 +Further details on the conversion process can be viewed at [[cookbook:backupexec|Backup Exec Cookbook]] 
 + 
 +==== Data Extraction From Commvault ==== 
 + 
 +The Storage Information Report is created via the Commvault GUI and output to CSV format, accessible from the reports tab. 
 + 
 +Further details on the conversion process can be viewed at [[cookbook:commvault|Commvault cookbook]] 
 + 
 +==== Data Extraction From Data Protector ==== 
 + 
 +The onmirpt command is available on systems with the Data Protector User Interface component installed 
 + 
 +Use the omnirpt command to extract data to a text file using: 
 + 
 +Output from omnirpt, while tab delimitered, can produce offset columns depending on string lengths. To ensure the column offsets are consistent the output is passed through TMSS10CSV2Fixed producing a fixed length text file.  
 + 
 +Further details on the conversion process can be viewed at [[cookbook:dataprotector|Data Protector Cookbook]] 
 + 
 +==== Data Extraction From Netbackup Vault ==== 
 + 
 +Using the administrative tool vmquery, the Volume data can be extracted into a text file. 
 + 
 +The text file is then converted to a CSV file to properly format the data, along with the dates, to allow correct loading into the Sync, using the command line program TMSS10SingleSpace. 
 + 
 +Full definition and implementation example for extraction of data and synchronization with Netbackup is at [[cookbook:netbackup|NetBackup Sync Cookbook]] 
 +==== Data Extraction From Networker ==== 
 + 
 +Using the administrative tool mminfo, the Volume data needs to be extracted from the Networker save sets and exported into CSV file format. 
 + 
 +Full definition and implementation example for extraction of data and synchronization with Networker is at [[cookbook:networker|NetWorker Sync Cookbook]] 
 +==== Data Extraction From TSM ==== 
 + 
 +Using the Tivoli Storage Manager administrative tool dsmadmc, the Volume data needs to be extracted from both the DRM and Volume tables and exported into csv file format. 
 + 
 +Full definition and implementation example for extraction of data and synchronization with TSM is at [[cookbook:tsm|Tivoli Storage Manager Sync Cookbook]]. 
 + 
 +==== Data Extraction For VEEAM ==== 
 + 
 +VEEAM differs from other backup software in that a direct ODBC connection is made using the definition file rather than extracting the data to file and then using a definition file to read it. 
 + 
 +Full definition and implementation example for extraction of data and synchronization with VEEAM is at [[cookbook:veeam|VEEAM Sync Cookbook]].
