Hi Fred,
Maybe estimate ?
The 'problem' with estimate is that it lists files in a fileset ("you can
get an idea how many files will be backed up")
I would like to list all files on the filedaemon's host in order to create
a fileset with selected files/folders but didn't see something like that in
documentation.

*estimate*
Using this command, you can get an idea how many files will be
backed up, or if you are unsure about your Include statements in
your FileSet, you can test them without doing an actual backup. The
default is to assume a Full backup. However, you can override this
by specifying a *level=Incremental* or *level=Differential* on the
command line. A Job name must be specified or you will be prompted
for one, and optionally a Client and FileSet may be specified on the
command line. It then contacts the client which computes the number
of files and bytes that would be backed up. Please note that this is
an estimated calculated from the number of blocks in the file rather
than by reading the actual bytes. As such, the estimated backup size
will generally be larger than an actual backup.
Optionally you may specify the keyword *listing* in which case, all
the files to be backed up will be listed. Note, it could take quite
some time to display them if the backup is large. The full form is:
estimate job=<job-name> listing client=<client-name>
fileset=<fileset-name> level=<level-name>
Specification of the *job* is sufficient, but you can also override
the client, fileset and/or level by specifying them on the estimate
command line.
As an example, you might do:
@output /tmp/listing
estimate job=NightlySave listing level=Incremental
@output
which will do a full listing of all files to be backed up for the
Job *NightlySave* during an Incremental save and put it in the file
*/tmp/listing*.
