Hi,

I have a created a script that generates a list of all file extensions
from
a "q backup" filelist. The script shows for each extension the number of
active/inactive files and the total and average size in mb.

I find this listing very useful. Especially to find out which filetypes
have
the biggest impact on occupation in backup and which filetypes have the
biggest number of inactive files.
I thought that the script may be of use to others too, so I put it on my
website.

Documentation and download can be found here:
http://neuntoeter.homelinux.org/wiki/index.php/ListFileExtensions

Here is a sample output (only the first three rows):
SUM_MB|   FILES|       AVG_MB|      EXT.|    ACT.|  INACT.|  INACT/ACT|
 205309|     192|      1069.32|      .bak|      51|     141|    2.76|
 180527|   47126|         3.83|      .tif|   13249|   33877|    2.56|
 118075|   47280|         2.50|      .ppt|   12342|   34938|    2.83|

Some time ago I have also written some nagios-plugins that can be used
to monitor vital functions of TSM with nagios.

http://neuntoeter.homelinux.org/wiki/index.php/Tsm_plugins

here is a list of the plugins:

tsm_schedule_errors.sh (failed client schedules)
tsm_log_util.sh (log utilization)
tsm_db_util.sh (db utilization
tsm_free_tapes.sh (free scratch tapes)
tsm_error_tapes.sh (tapes with errors)
tsm_drives.sh (online drives)
tsm_paths.sh (online paths)

tsm_server_perf.sh (Performance of server processes: e.g. migration, db
backup,...)
tsm_occupancy.sh (number of files and mb occupancy)
tsm_node_occupancy.sh (number of files and mb of a client node)
tsm_drive_state.sh (drive states: idle, dismounting, in use ...)
tsm_disk_pool.sh (utilization of diskpools)
tsm_backupsum.sh (backup sum of last 24h)
