I recently had to crunch some numbers for upper management for similar
reasons. Here's how I did it. (This will mainly answer your volume
question.)
Tabulate how much data you backed up across all policies in September.
bpimagelist -U -d 09/01/2009 00:00:00 -e 09/30/2009 23:59:59 | awk '{
total += $5 } END { print total }'
Field 5 in bpimagelist output is the size in Kb of a particular entries
backup. If you wanted to tabulate the volume of a specific policy:
bpimagelist -U -policy <policy name> | awk '{ total += $5 } END {
print total }'
You can do the same thing for a particular client:
bpimagelist -U -client <client name> | awk '{ total += $5 } END {
print total }'
And you can use the date parameters from the first example to print the
volume of a particular client or policy within a certain time frame.
Example: Total amount, in kilobytes, for client foo during entire month
of September:
bpimagelist -U -client foo -d 09/01/2009 00:00:00 -e 09/30/2009
23:59:59 | awk '{ total += $5 } END { print total }'
Example: Total amount, in kilobytes, for policy bar during entire month
of September:
bpimagelist -U -policy bar -d 09/01/2009 00:00:00 -e 09/30/2009
23:59:59 | awk '{ total += $5 } END { print total }'
To get a list of all your clients:
bpplclients -allunique
To get a list of all your policies:
bppllist
Hope this helps. If anyone has a better way, I'm always up for learning
new techniques.
Thanks.

I know how to get this information different ways but trying to

Does anyone have a suggestion to make this quick and easy?
