The byte statistics reported by the Tivoli Storage manager GENERATE BACKUPSET command are incorrect and too small. The following example generating a backupset against a device class of files is used to illustrate the symptom: ANR2017I Administrator SERVER_CONSOLE issued command: GENERATE BACKUPSET <NODENAME> test_backup_set devc=file desc="test backup set" ANR0984I Process 2 for GENERATE BACKUPSET started in the BACKGROUND at 09:16:07 AM.

ANR3547I Backup set TEST_BACKUP_SET.2049 used volume <PATH>/86000967.ost. ANR4502W No files have been defined for automatically storing sequential volume history information. ANR8340I FILE volume <PATH>/00000002.BFS mounted. ANR0513I Process 2 opened output volume <PATH>/00000002.BFS. ANR0515I Process 2 closed volume <PATH>/00000002.BFS. ANR1779I GENERATE BACKUPSET process completed: 1 backupset(s) were generated ordefined out of 1 backupset(s) requested by the command's specifications. ANR0986I Process 2 for GENERATE BACKUPSET running in the BACKGROUND processed 424 items for a total of 133,313,818 bytes with a completion state of SUCCESS reported at 09:16:11 AM. q backupset f=d ANR2017I Administrator SERVER_CONSOLE issued command: QUERY BACKUPSET f=d Node Name: <NODENAME> Backup Set Name: TEST_BACKUP_SET.2049 Data Type: File Date/Time: 12/02/2013 09:16:07 AM Retention Period: 365 Device Class Name: FILE Description: test backup set Has Table of Contents (TOC)?: Yes Filespace names: /home Volume names: <PATH>/86000967.ost But looking at the generated file volume the size odf the volume is: <PATH>$ ls -l 86000967.ost -rw------- 1 <user> <group> 133611585 Dec 2 09:16 86000967.ost In this case, the filesize of 133611585 is bigger than the 133313818 bytes reported by the ANR0986I message.
