Chances are if you are looking for a useful piece of reporting information it
won't be in Networker natively.

But don't watermarks come into play only with staging? We're not using
staging. We're cloning. Am I missing something?
As far as native OS utilities, we could ssh between the NW server and storage
node, but we'd rather not. I was hoping there was some NW-based query that
would give us the information.
Thanks.
Teresa

Hello,
The watermarks enforce how networker handles cleaning up saveset based on the
policy you set, perhaps a simple script with email form nsradmin on how close
are you to the watermark may work for you.
If not native OS utilities can alert you depending on how much disk space is
free.
There may be other mminfo type of cmds you can use to get a handle on it, but i
am frankly not understanding the reasoning to do this, since based on your
policy networker will remove staged savesets, if you are reaching watermarks
frequently and not able to retain as long as you like then perhaps additional
AFTD devices or increasing their size is more appropriate ?

Re: [Networker] Advanced file type devices on storage nodes
Yes, but staging would not allow us to keep a copy onsite and send a
copy offsite. We need the ability to copy the data (ie, clone) and then
delete at a later date. BUT, we also want to delete only when we're
running out of space. We just can't figure out how to get NetWorker to
let us know how big each disk device is.
Thanks.

Teresa,
You can easily configure staging (Configuration - Staging) from the
Networker Management Console. Staging will look for the configured
devices
and will clone data which is not yet recyclable to tape. In this way you
keep all data within the retention period on site.
