Hi,
I am running the dsmc 5.2 client on Solaris.

From a client's point of view is there a way to monitor the
progress of a

backup to get some idea of how complete it is?
Something like "x% done" would be nice.

Peter -

One way is to do a 'tail -f Backup_Log | grep ANS1898I' and compare
the progress count with the sum of the in-use inodes for the file
systems being backed up ('df' output), from which you can display an
adequate % value.
