Can anyone comment on the accuracy of VMA?

For a single night VMA shows   1806|    755|    681 for the hours 2,3,4 for 
Report(gbmax) dsn(include(syshsm.**))

The HSM Report function shows
079735696K for Daily Backup

During the hours selected only Incremental Backup should be running. No way are 
we backing up 3.2 TB.
Recycle isn't running either.

Thank You,

Thank you, Richard. That's much easier than using CMF.

IBM's VMA software does give the option of GBs written per hour.

The REPORT keyword has the option:  REPORT(GBMAX)

Subject: Reports for GB per hour to tape

Can anyone suggest a methodology to measure GB per hour written to tape?

Management is seeking to evaluate the additional CPU overhead that s/w
encryption might entail.

IBM's Volume mount analyzer gives tape allocation and tape mounts per
hour but not, to my knowledge, GB written per hour.

Yes, we are still discussing h/w vs. s/w encryption. Thank you to all
who responded to the earlier thread.

Thank You,
