I agree with John, this sounds very ambitious. If you are only interested in active files, there is the possibility of checking it on the actual client, how much data in each filespace (filesystem/dr

TSMers, Is there anyway people know of to estimate how large a backupset is going to be? I have close to 700 nodes I want to generate backupsets for and I want to know what sort of space I will be us

Graham, an estimate is the sum of (capacity * percent utilized) for the filespaces for a given client if you are including all filespaces in your GENERATE BACKUPSET. Realize that if you are using a t

Don't forget that you are not supposed to backup your client while creating the backupset. This limits their usefulness IMO Graham, an estimate is the sum of (capacity * percent utilized) for the fil

Be careful using virtual volumes for backupsets. A backupset is not a recognized type of virtual volumes and if you run the RECONCILE VOLUMES command, the virtual volume will be deleted, but not the

Of those 700 Nodes, I am only backing up data directories (not the entire operating system). I currently have a script which generates the backupsets on a monthly basis, but the location where the ba

Bill, the RECONCILE VOLUMES command reporting backupset virtual volumes (...OST... names) in error is fixed in 5.1.6.0. See the README file. I reported the bug last fall and it just took a while for

This will give you the filespace usage, which is the active backupset size except it includes excluded data. It should be good enough for an estimate. select node_name, cast(sum(capacity*pct_util/100

Paul and co, The TSM server I am administering is not running any tape drives through the TSM component - all data which is backed up to this server is being sent straight to diskpools (to a whopping
