Hi everybody,
   
  The last time when I posted a question I received a few very useful and quick 
replies. Thx for that. Hopefully this question is also easy for a few of you to 
answer.
   
  Case:
  A client want's to know how big the daily backup is for a Lotus client 
backedp up via TDP.
  I can embed a "query actlog begind=-1 node=[nodename] msg=4991 " in a script 
but the output is useless (even with grep) because TDP reports a summary for 
every *.nfs its backing up and I am only interested in the total bytes 
transferred. (which is also reported with msg 4991 at the end of the log). 
  The alternative (which has my preference ) is an sql query: 
  select START_TIME,ACTIVITY,ENTITY from summary where ENTITY='[nodename]' and 
ACTIVITY='BACKUP'
  but I struggle with the date.
  The format TSM is using in its table is
  2007-01-15 21:08:34.000000
  I am only interested in the backupsize of last night so I use " 
START_TIME='2007-02-14%' but that is obviously not the correct syntax. 
  Does anyone of you know how I must convert the date ? Or is there a  
possibility to use something like "today-1" like you use with a q actlog.
   
  Your advise would be highly appreciated.
  Thx in advance,
  Abulifia
