1. If you haven't got NetBackup Operations Manager or OpsCenter you can simply modify layout of your activity monitor.. change state of "Kilobytes" and "Media Server" to Show, then you can create filter for "Media Server" Field.. Copy rows to file, import in Excel and thats all.

2. You can parse output from bpdbjobs command in a script.
3. Go to Reports section, Tape Written and search for tapes written by Media Server. There is Kilobytes field.

Hello Marek,

It's no. 3 from Marek's list:
3. Go to Reports section, Tape Written and search for tapes written by Media Server. There is Kilobytes field.

Tape written report uses bpimagelist.
Try:   bpimagelist -l -media -d <start-date> -e <end-date>
Field 5 is the kilobytes written.

Obviously only valid images will be reported on. If daily backups has a 2-week retention period, running the report for the last month will not contain info for the dailies that had already expired.

Please use /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/bpimagelist -server media_server_name -hoursago x -U to list the backups which are backed up by the media server and you can use awk to find the kilobyte field to calculate the size.
