Hi *SM'ers,
1.  if I run e.g.
dsmadmc -comma
        select * from SUMMARY where activity='BACKUP' and
        entity='GIVEN_NODE' and start_time>'2003-02-05 20:30:00'
        and end_time<'2003-02-06 20:30:00'
I obtain the # of BACKUPs ("num_bkup") for the "GIVEN_NODE" during the
given time-interval ( i.e. 1 day )

2.  if I take the corresponding records written into "dsmaccnt.log" for
the GIVEN_NODE in the same time-interval with a NON-ZERO-field-17 ( i.e.
Amount of backup files, in kilobytes, ..., see Tivoli Storage Manager for
AIX, Version 5, Rel 1, page 428) I obtain another #, say "num_acnt".

My assumption was these 2 numbers should be equal.

BUT I've cases in which "num_bkup=1017" and "num_acnt=1644" for the same
node in the same time-period, i.e. they differ significantly.

Generally I found that
        num_bkup < num_acnt
Only in rare cases I found
        num_bkup = num_acnt"

Questions:
1.      Is my assumption correct that these 2 #-s should be identical ?
2.      has anyone else experienced such a behaviour ?
