I have found that the QUERY BACKUP is real sensitive to the format of the filespace...I normally use the GUI (either DSM or the web-client). Go to Restore and then just click down to the directory to see if any files show up.
If you are running -VERBOSE as an option for the daily incremental, you can also look in the DSMSCHED.LOG file to see what has been backed up.

Combined with other new files created on the server, we are expecting about 30G backup each day. We have a script that queries the account log and email us the report. The report shows that the server sends about 30G data over to our DSM server. But if I do "q ba *.dmp" under the directory where the oracle dump is generated, it shows that nothing has been backed up. I am very positive that if 30G is backed up then the daily oracle export should be the major part. Is it possible that the accounting information is wrong? Jie
