    Have you tried the built-in tool in Netbackup (at least fra 7.6.0.1)

    Symantec NetBackup Traditional and Capacity License Deployment Utility (nbdeployutil)

    http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH148678

    Run command, then follow on-screen innstruction:

    nbdeployutil --gather

    You will get a excel sheet with all the figure nicely ordered. Should be a cut and past job

    OpsCentre - if installed - can also do the job.

    Front-end capacity is the data that you protect on each client, regardless of amount of Full and Incremental backups.

    Calculate the equivalent of one full backup per client.

    Or use nbdeployutil.
