In regard to: Re: [Networker] calculating/preflighting a group?, Siobhan...:
As stated savegrp -n does everything savegrp normall would, except move
data.
Including running pre and post commands, so be careful with groups that
have e.g. set up to put a database into readonly mode, etc.
If you are planning on running this on a file server, I'd do it out of
hours, especially if the file server is heavily used. Fileservers tend
to have High Density File Systems (HDFS) and these will be adversely
affacted by a file walk, as a large portion of the IO is actually
walking the file system.
Totally agreed.
