How to show amount of only active data from a node??

[odyssey]

I'm planning an export, and wants to measure how many tapes i need for this. How do I show the amount of active data from a node instead of all data including inactive versions?

The easiest way that I know of is for you to do a trial export with the prompt of filedata="BACKUPACTIVE" and "preview=YES"

The preview = yes will help you estimate the size and also let you know if there are any errors found on the tapes you need.



Ex:



export node node1 dom=unix filedata=BACKUPACTIVE dev=dev1 scratch=yes preview=YES fromdate=06/21/2006 fromtime=12:30:00



To actually see the outcome of this -

" q pr" will show the status



When done, check "q actlog" and scroll down until you see the export node completion info.



When ready to export for real, just swap in "preview=NO"

Good luck.
