Directory database data file backup

Purpose

Determine the time since the most recent back up.

Suggested frequency

Every 4 hours

Suggested thresholds

  • Warning alert: 48 hours

  • Critical alert: 72 hours

Method 1 (preferred)

Use the Hours since last backup performance counter to determine the number of days since the last backup.

\Enterprise Vault Database Files\Hours since last backup
Hours since last backup of the database file
Method 2

Use the Get-EVDatabaseFileInfo cmdlet to determine the number of hours since the last backup:

Get-EVDatabaseFileInfo -databasetype directory
Sample output
Typical output:

DatabaseName              : EnterpriseVaultDirectory
LogicalFileName           : VaultDev70
PhysicalFileName          : D:\SQL Server\MSSQL.1\MSSQL\DATA\VaultDevdb.mdf
FileType                  : Data
TotalQuotaGBytesUsed      : 
TotalQuotaGBytesAvailable : 
TotalQuotaGBytesFree      : 
LastBackupDate            : 
HoursSinceLastBackup      : 25

Note:

TotalQuotaGBytesUsed, TotalQuotaGBytesAvailable, TotalQuotaGBytesFree are not available if the SQL Server version is earlier than SQL Server 2008 R2 SP1.

Example

To determine the number of hours since the last backup:

(Get-EVDatabaseFileInfo -databasetype directory) | where `
     $_.filetype -eq "data"}).hourssincelastbackup
25
