Hi folks, Right now we only backup servers to TSM. We are considering allowing individuals to use TSM as an archive repository, and the first question that came up was how to figure out how much space a particular client or person is using in the archive, so we can send them a bill.
The caveat: one of the machines that people will archive from is used by more than one billable group (specifically, more than one research lab). I will need to be able to figure out which person has archived however much they did. While the idea of having more than one management class with different tape pools seems like a sound idea, I cannot necessarily rely on the users choosing the right class. Each user's directory has their name on it, so we can probably figure it out from a q arch on the client. Has anyone done this? I know how much we all love recharging, but that is out of my control. Thanks! --Jim
