Del, The filespace information only shows be the backup start/end for the INSTANCE. I could go in an backup a single database and the filespace information will change? It doesn't tell me that there is a database in an instance that hasn't backed up in xx-days, like I could get that information from B/A client filespaces. I believe Mr. Lindsay Morris says that ServerGraph uses the filespace information to list filespaces that haven't been backed up in x-days, or even last night. He uses this information instead of the client completion or event records for successfully backups.
Take DB2 for example...there is a filespace for each database backed up. Now the backup start/end times aren't maintained, but if they were this type of information would be of more benefit in tracking backups, cleanup,... Now I love the strides taken in the TDP agent reporting, but there are still some things I would like to see. Makes central monitoring a bit easier... Bill Boyer DSS, Inc.
