I agree with John, this sounds very ambitious. If you are only interested in active files, there is the possibility of checking it on the actual client, how much data in each filespace (filesystem/drive/etc). A worst case (it gives all backup-data, active and inactive) could be "q occ t=b"

Is this a one off or are are you planning to do this regularly. How are you goung to achieve this. Anyway you can get a reasonable idea from taking the filepace occupancy, unless you have major excludes from backup, this is going to be your active file size.

I have close to 700 nodes I want to generate backupsets for and I want to know what sort of space I will be using up with them. I am assuming it will be some sort of SQL statement looking at active files, but I can't figure it out past that. Any help would be appreciated.
