I would like to be able to calculate the size of a backupset prior to
running the "generate backupset" command.

Well, anybody have any ideas?

Yes. Run

       q filesp <node_name>

and add 'er up. It won't be exact, but it'll be close (assuming, of course,
that's there's been a recent backup of the node).

Mark,

I don't think this will get what I want since "q files" shows the actual
size of the filespace, including any unused part of the filespace and
any files that have been excluded.  Also, this doesn't give me a file
count which is useful for creating unix file systems to get the correct
number of i-nodes created.

I appreciate the response.  What I am really hoping for is someone who
knows what the DB tables are so I can do it thru a select command.
