Eric, Assuming you have a steady state, and no expoiration of data whilsty it is on disk, on average the amount migrated each day will equal the amount backed up.
Select sum(bytes) from summary where activity='MIGRATION' and entity='DISKPOOLNAME' and divide by the number of days in your activity table. If you migrate only daily, the max(bytes) might be a better figure. Alternatively, bytes moved by backup stg is another measure you could use.

I would like my diskpool to be large enough to contain a complete backup window (one day). I'm looking for a query to see how much data was written to the diskpool during the last 24 hours. Does anybody has one for me? Thank you VERY much in advance! Easy.
