Re: [Networker] mminfo query

Another option would be to create an input list from your /nsr/index
directory.  Something like this on Unix:

for i in `ls /nsr/index/*domain*`
do
  mminfo -av -c $i -r <reporting goodness>
done

Because of the clunkiness of the mminfo output, I like to either export to
CSV or to send the output to perl. In both cases, it is really nice to have
NetWorker delimit the fields.  For example, when I want to know how much
data was backed up by a set of clients over the last week:

for i in `ls /nsr/index/*client_string*`
do
  mminfo -av -xc, -c $i -r 'client, name, totalsize > /tmp/client_size.csv
done

This command will give me a CSV with the clients, the save sets and the
totalsize in bytes.  I can then use Excel functions to create reports based
on whatever information I need.
