I'm having trouble with mminfo output on Networker 7.1 and summing the volume of backups for a daily report. The typical scenario is that operations staff run a batch file with mminfo commands in it that dumps to a text file. This is imported into excel and converyed into columns. The operation staff then sums the various totalsize columns and copies the result to a report that is mailed out.

Nomally the results from totalsize (and sumsize) are in differing units, B, KB, MB, GB per line. I know you can use totalsize(13) and then divide by 1,000,000,000 to force output in bytes then convert to GB but is there a way to get mminfo to natively output all figures in GB without resort to scripting?

Hi Simon,

Converting to bytes would be your best way. Although you can force the report into bytes, you cannot force it into any other units. It would be a very simple script to convert it, or alternatively you could do the conversions within Excel. I don't think there is a better way.

Been to WS1 lately?
