Re: Industry Statistics regarding # of daily exceptions?

[Nicholas Cassimatis/Raleigh/IBM]

We run around 98% successful backups in a fairly large (15ish TSM Servers,
averaging around 250 clients/server (between 6 and 500 clients/server)).
We have just been keeping track with a simple database program written in
perl (I'm not the author, and I haven't really looked at it, but the fields
are Date, Server, Possible, and Successful.  Each file is one months worth
of data.

To get the info from your actlog (on AIX/Unix), you can just do a 'dsmadmc
-id=admin -pass=password "query event * * begind=-100 endd=today" | wc -l'
to get the total number of backups, then dsmadmc -id=admin -pass=password
"query event * * begind=-100 endd=today ex=yes" | wc -l' to get the number
of exceptions.  Less both numbers by, I believe, 9 lines (on TSM 3.7) for
the header/footer info, and you'll have your values.  From there it's
simple math.
