Backupsets just contain the active data, yes? So what about:
export node blah filedata=backupactive preview=yes Shouldn't that be pretty close? -----Original Message----- From: Stapleton, Mark [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, October 07, 2003 4:35 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Amount of Data on a Backupset From: Linda Seeba [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] >I am running TSM 5.1.3 on an AIX platform. I created a backupset for a customer and now they want to know how much data was backed up to it. I can tell them the amount of objects but not the amount of data. Does anyone know how to get this information?< It's almost certainly not available from the TSM server, because the TSM database does not track that information. However, it's a safe bet that (assuming that the backupset is recent) that the amount of data on the TSM client is pretty much equal to the amount of data on the backupset tape. (This assumes that you created a backupset of the entire client, and not a backupset of one of the client's filespaces.) You have to remember that a backupset is an entity independent of the TSM server. A backupset can be restored from a media drive locally attached to the TSM client, and has no need for TSM server intervention. -- Mark Stapleton ([EMAIL PROTECTED])
