Good Day
Need assistance with generating a report for backup database sizes, but listing each database.
I want to see the data growth for these databases in our backups. Is this possible from backup exec or is there a process we need to configure to do this?
Kind Regards,
Evan Thompson

E.T: You'd need to get hold of Symantec directly to assist you with this. They don't publish details on the tables, and won't support you going through it yourself. This is your best option in my opinion.
Otherwise find a third party application that integrates into BE and offers better reporting, or more customisable reporting. See the link below...not guaranteed it will help:

Do you mean the production databases you have backed up or the Backup Exec Database itself?
If the Backup Exec database itself do you mean including the catalog information (which is outside of SQL but should be considered as part of the overall 'database')

Hi There,
This would be the production databases, we have a backup which selects multiple databases on an instance and i want to generate a report for the month and see how each database has grown in size and not just the total backup size.

Clearly i havent forgotten its a backup tool since i'm in a forum called Backup exec..... Kind of insulting.
With Backup exec i can already generate a report with most of this information and a size of the total for all these databases, is it too far fetched for one more shred of information to be included?
