*Sigh* 

Not enough coffee yet.  You posted this command in your original note.

How is this command not meeting your needs?  It'll give you a count of all
media used over the past week - do you need a further breakdown or perhaps
GB counts?

You can use bpimagelist's media report to get the count of tapes over the
past week.

  bpimagelist -mlist -hoursago 168

You can do all sorts of limiting factors to narrow the search to just their
stuff:

USAGE: bpimagelist [-media] [-l|-L|-U|-idonly]
           [-d mm/dd/yyyy hh:mm:ss] [-e mm/dd/yyyy hh:mm:ss] [-hoursago
hours]
           [-keyword "keyword phrase"]
           [-client client_name] [-server server_name]
           [-backupid backup_id] [-option option_name]
           [-class class_name] [-ct class_type]
           [-rl retention_level]
           [-sl sched_label] [-st sched_type]
           [-M master_server...] [-v]

HTH - Mark

Folks,

I have been asked to furnish some statistics to a client of ours in order
to determine when new tapes are needed.

Here's the situation:

We have a client who ships us tapes for their exclusive use

The client wants to know how many new tapes are needed to be loaded each
week
so they may develop an "autoship" process.

I have used such scripts as:

./bpimagelist -media -hoursago 168 -class <client classes>

But, it will just tell me the activity of the media

I need to know how many tapes I needed to load for the client last week to
avoid a status 96
and develop an average

I was thinking, maybe the best way would be to keep a manual log and list
how many times tapes
had to be loaded for that client over a period of time

Any help?

Thanks!
