Is anyone using some sort of script to verify their backups by a byte total? I've got scripts to monitor events and the dsmerror and act logs but still miss files.
I have looked at using ksh to run a find on a filesystem searching for any modifications in the last 24 hours, then adding the byte total and comparing that to a dsmc of the same filesystem. The numbers are close enough to make me believe it can be done but find is very limited with mtime only searching by days. I was hoping someone may have written something in Perl they would be willing to share to narrow the search criteria down to a point in time, say the last backup? Or, what other ideas have been used to verify backups in TSM? Thanks! Neil
