Thanks to all for your assistance.

In the end, for the purposes of just wanting to know how big each server should 
be in the event of a full rebuild I went with the 'q filespace' command and 
bunged it in a spreadsheet.

The other ideas was very much appreciated and have also been noted :-)

Many thanks

Farren

Hi, 

I agree with daniel. 

Also think about the possibilty off "q occ NODENAME" which gives you 
additionaly the possibility to see in which stgpools data are stored.

Hi

If you're wondering how much data is actually stored on your client, for 
fileservers, you could just do a query filespace for all or a specific node. It 
will show you the size of the nodes filespaces, and how much space that is 
utilized for each filesystem.

As for using export node, the filedata=backup will show you the size for all 
versions stored in TSM, not only the active data (active data as in the latest 
of each file, or what is actually on your server).

So only the latest version of files using export, use filedata=allactive 
instead of filedata=backup. This will show you what TSM thinks should be 
restored in case of a server failure.

One thing though, if the filespace query is enough for you, I'd use that 
instead of export node since export node consumes more resources on your TSM 
server, and takes longer time to complete (especially for a lot of nodes).

export node will not give you any information regarding NAS filers (if you used 
NDMP to back them up). 

Best Regards

Daniel Sparrman

export node xx.yy.zz filed=backup preview=yes

for each node should do the job
