Hi,

I have been experimenting with mminfo options and have come up with some
weird results with different mminfo options, which one is right:

1. mminfo -Xa

Recent Save Set Usage Summary:
.......
one week    3758 GB
one month   22   TB

This is what you did in the past month, so it's fact that's what you backed up in the pastmonth. Not what you will necessarily back up in the current or future months.


This gives me a monthly backup size of 22TB.

2. mminfo -X

Give me a total of 1TB for the last 24 hours. Meaning approx. 24 TB for

the whole month (Approx)

You are assuming that you will back up 1TB every day for all 24 days of your cycle. Perhapsthat's true -- perhaps that's not true, it's a number based on an assumed amount of data, noton any facts.



3. mminfo -s  -avot -q "savetime>=05/03/2009"  -r
"volume,savetime(22),totalsize"

After summing up the totalsize in Excel I get 32TB


Any AFTD's or other reasons for a single ssid to be reported multiple times?


Is it 22TB or 24TB or 32TB, by the way I am not a byte freak, used to be
one when programming assembler.

For what you did in the past month, it's 22TB. For what you think you will do this month, it's24TB. The 32TB is an accounting error :-)
