I don't believe that is correct. Remember, Mr. Oborn asked about data
backed up with TDP for Informix. That data is backed up with API code,
not BA code. The dsmc b/a client cannot access anything about filespaces
or backups, since it doesn't access the relevant information.

>From the TSM server, he *could* use QUERY OCCUPANCY on the Informix
filesystems and see how much storage space the Informix data is taking
up on tape and/or disk storage pools, but that's about it. If you run a
QUERY FILESPACE from the server, it will 0 MB of space occupied; this is
because the QUERY FILESPACE command only access data about clients
backed up with the BA code.

Again, I think the only way to access information about what is
available for backups is with the TDP for Informix code (and possibly
Informix itself), and that will only run if Informix is loaded and
running on the console.

Del, do I have that right?
