how to find out volume size on backup

[Ted Mims]

I was trying to figure out how to tell how many bytes were backed up during fbackup. The header information only gives the size of the index file. I could go through and manually add up all the numbers in the index but that would take a while. Is there a command that will sum the total number of bytes in the backup volume?

Hi Ted:

I assume that you have a volume information file created by 'frecover'. Thus, skip over the header information (i.e. non-numeric fields) that begin each line until you get to the block size and file lines. Once there, sum the sizes:

# awk '$1~/^[0-9][0-9]*/ {N=N+$1};END{print N}' /tmp/frecover_vinfo
