Hi,

To close the loop on the question/issue relating to mminfo reporting saveset size as written by nsrmmd, and not as read off the disk by save, we have opened an RFE and a BUG.

The RFE is 5237985, and is to include both the compressed and uncompressed data sizes in the media database for a given saveset. (While it may not be "right" that many sites use their backup systems to estimate and monitor data size, it is commonly done; and other backup products track both sizes)

The BUG is NW114401 and is a documentation bug for the mminfo man page.

Yours,

Dave
