Richard, Your approach will work for file data, but a lot of the TDPs don't accurately register filespace sizes. Only the OP will know what the impact of that might be in his environment.
I would go for an export allactive preview=yes. It might run for quite a while. Regards Steve Steven Harris TSM Admin, Canberra Australia On 19/07/2011 4:42 AM, Richard Sims wrote:
If your clients are doing unfettered incremental backups of file systems, then the following would yield a MB approximation, very quickly: SELECT SUM(CAPACITY*PCT_UTIL/100) FROM FILESPACES which is based upon TSM's information about the file system as gotten from the last client operation. By definition, the files on the client represent all the Active files in TSM storage where the activity is incremental backups. Richard Sims
