Is anyone using some sort of script to verify their backups by a byte total?
I've got scripts to monitor events and the dsmerror and act logs but still
miss files.

I have looked at using ksh to run a find on a filesystem searching for any
modifications in the last 24 hours, then adding the byte total and comparing
that to a dsmc of the same filesystem. The numbers are close enough to make
me believe it can be done but find is very limited with mtime only searching
by days.

I was hoping someone may have written something in Perl they would be
willing to share to narrow the search criteria down to a point in time, say
the last backup?

Or, what other ideas have been used to verify backups in TSM?


Thanks!

Neil
