But what is the reports doing then? Is that not just some GUI for mminfo?

E.g. saveset detailes by client report.

And the Query save set utility: is that using mminfo or something else? It 
should be possible to get the same output from command line as from the quiery 
save set utility.


I you are backing up systems for an external administrator. How do you fulfill 
his need to know the status of his backups?

mminfo may not give you all of what you want here. mminfo queries the 
media database, however this will not include any information about 
failed backups, since they will not be in the media database.

Information about success/failure can be found in the log files, or the 
savegroup completion notification, or for just the most recent backup in 
the NSR resource database for NSR group. This information can be seen 
using the nsradmin command.

mminfo can certainly give you the size of any completed save sets, and 
it is a very powerful tool for this. The -q -and -r parameters allow to 
to produce a totally customised report. See the man page or the command 
reference guide for comprehensive details.
