My knowledge of select statements is fairly limited but you will probably have to use the information in the BACKUPS table but I am unsure how to figure out which tape the file is stored on. My guess is to use the OBJECT_ID field and there must be another table that stores what tape that OBJECT_ID is on.

Fuller >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 03/07/02 02:53AM >>> Julian, I have been having a look at using your select statement below and with slight modifications I am getting the number of tapes that are needed for each filespace for the particular node. I believe that the results brought back by this select command are effectively any tape which has a file from the particular filespace, whether it be an active copy or an inactive copy. I tested this by running the statement against a filespace on a node and it came back with a list of 7 tapes that would be needed. I then performed a selective backup of that filespace and allowed the overnight processing to do its stuff (updating all the offsite pools). Checking the results this morning instead of just having one tape returned, 8 tapes were listed. My question to you or anyone out there who knows more about select statements than me (a lot of people I reckon) is: Is there a select statement that would bring back a list of tapes that would be needed to restore a particular filespace for a node that only takes into account the active files needed?

You can type the names either upper or lower case. Julian Armendariz System Support Analyst - UNIX H.B.
