In regard to: [Networker] mminfo query, Joey Admin said (at 6:12pm on May...:

Hi.

I need to get information about how much data a client is holding on the
backup storage in total.

I'm sure I can query the media database about that somehow, at least make a
list of all the savesets that are available and then just sum it up.

Does anyone have an idea how to do that?

Via mminfo, it would be something like

mminfo -q 'client=yourclientname' -r 'totalsize(22)' |
        awk ' BEGIN { total=0; } { total= total + $1 } END { print total }'

Be advised that this counts each clone of the client data too, which
sounds like what you want but is important to understand.

This information is also available via the reports in NMC.  Try the
"Client Summary" report, in the "Client Name Selected" use the << to move
all your clients out of there and then just move the one client you care
about back into the "Client Name Selected" box.  Then click the "Report"
tab.  NMC reports can also be scripted, although it's a bit tricky to
get started.
