Re: Tracing

The QUERY BACKUP command from the command line interface, or GUI restore
operations should display backup versions for all files that are backed up.

If this is a manual backup (i.e. non-scheduled), the user can redirect the
output from the backup command to a file for later review:

   dsmc incremental > dsmc.out

As long as the QUIET option is not used, an entry should be displayed for each
file and directory backed up, along with its size.

For scheduled backups, DSMSCHED.LOG will contain time-stamped entries for each
file and directory backed up.

The ending statistics that follow the end of the backup will indicate the
number of objects backed up, the amount of data backed up, and total elapsed
time.

I don't think that tracing will yield any better information, and timings may
be skewed because the tracing may slow things down.

Subject: Re: Tracing

     I have a user who is testing ADSM for his environment, and wants to view
which files and directories have backed up. I also believe he would like to
know the amount of data sent for each file, and how long each file took to
process, if possible.

David Barber
