Well,

This is where pulling out regular trending information can be very useful.
For example daily summaries of the total number of files backed up, size of
backups
backup times etc . As you are on os390 that useful tool rexx can be
employed here, and
the totals uplifted into a suitable pc database.
For your particular situation now you might find it useful to extract the
information for the last few days from the activity log  using

QUERY AC BEGIND=TODAY-3 BEGINT=08:00 ENDD=TODAY ENDT=08:00 ORIGINATOR=CLIENT

Subject:    Rapid DB Growth


Hi Everyone!

I am having a problem with the DB increasing quite rapidly on our TSM 5.1.2
os/390 server.  It has a 60 GB database and over the weekend it went from
77% utilization to 88% utilization.  Does anyone have any suggestions on
where to look or what may be causing the DB to fill so quickly?  We do have
approximately 250 clients backing up to this server and on Saturday morning
there are approximately 20 lotus domino tdp clients that complete full
backups of their databases along with all of the other regular processing.
Does anyone have any suggestions/comments?

Thanks in advance!
