Steve,
Thank You, I think this gets me close. I will have to do a little
scripting work to parse out the numbers, but that's not a major hurdle.
I was really hoping to extract it straight from the DB.
I do have one other interesting observation. The output of the export
like above and the values from an estimate as described in my original
note are very close. Therefore, I deduce that what export refers to as
"items" are dirs, files, and filespaces. What is confusing however is
that when the "generate backupset" completed it refers to items as well
but they are obviously different.
ANR0986I Process 59 for EXPORT NODE running in the
BACKGROUND processed 76131 items for a total of
2,327,069,552 bytes with a completion state of
SUCCESS at
19:20:12.
ANR0987I Process 46 for GENERATE BACKUPSET running in the
BACKGROUND processed 22877 items with a
completion state
of SUCCESS at 18:30:53.
Any thoughts on the difference between these 2 numbers?
