Topic: Size of modified files

[Trevor Drake-Brockman]

Using SME 5.5 hoping there is some way of finding the size of the files that have been modified since the last backup.

Is there some utility program that will calculate the total size of all files that have been changed since the last full backup to tape.  I need to calculate the average size in KB of the files that are being changed on the server.  This will help me decide if I can use rsyc to do a second backup over the net.

At the command prompt do df -h on the day a backup is done, and then do df -h again when the next backup is due.

Compare the two readings and the difference is the total increase in your data file size (assuming other changes have not been made to the server config etc).

Hope this helps

Thanks Ray, not quite what I am after I need to find the total number of bytes for all files changed on the drive.  This is basically what I need to backup or rsycn each day.  Was hoping there was some simple utility that might give me the answer but maybe easiest way will be to do a LS of all files then read into a dbase III file then filter by the current day and sum the number of bytes.

Thanks anyway
