Hi Richard! Thanks you very much for your help! Indeed it's the worst of all. I just did a select * from contents where volume_name='just on of my volumes' on my very small test environment. Output is returned quite fast, but as soon as you hit c to cancel the output, you loose the cursor for several minutes. My guess is that this table has no index... The output of the Query CONtent command is useless for me, because the file size is not listed. Bummer. Thanks anyway!!! Kindest regards, Eric van Loon KLM Royal Dutch Airlines

Eric - File size (actually, Aggregate size) is in the Contents table - which is the worst of all TSM database tables to have to trawl. If you must, do so with as fully qualified search as possible, to minimize sequential traversals. An alternative would be to inspect tapes recently used by the suspect client, using the Query CONtent command, which is optimized for fast info retrieval. From the TSM accounting records, you may be able to discern such clients by the number of backup objects being comparatively few relative to the amount of backup data.
