Hi,

I've been doing some sizing analysis, and have noticed that mminfo reports show the amount written to a device (AFTD, in this case), rather than the amount of source data.

So when using compressasm, my 80GB full backups is reported as 20GB via mminfo.

What seems odd is that the description of totalsize from the man page is "The total save set size," which implies source data, not compressed data.

Does anyone know if that is the expected output, and if so, anyone have any ideas about workarounds?

NetWorker 7.5.1.9 x64, Windows 2008.

Thanks,

Dave
