In my experience, sumsize reports 'size-on-client-disk', not 
'size-on-backup-media'

Subject: [Networker] Q: Actual recover space size?

I know mminfo has the sumsize and totalsize, etc., fields, but AFAIK 
that's apparently size-on-backup-media, not original 
'size-on-client-disk', and given compression it can vary significantly. 
Does anyone know of a way to determine the actual space requirements for a 
given saveset (short of going host to host and looking at the current 
actual size, which might not be the same, anyway)? Currently this is on a 
7.2 system (that will hopefully be going to 7.5x before too many moons! 
:-).

Thanks.
