Also, knowing what volumes and paths were selected, when the backup ran,
and what it's end status was, doesn't gaurantee you've got the data on
tape..... as I recently found out.

Looks now like I will have to implement something that runs on the
client side, to determine the amount of data on EVERY machine, pass that
to a central location, then compare to the amount of data netbackup
captured, and provide an explanation for the differences!!
