Replacing the Accelerator image size with the network-transferred data in NetBackup command output
You can configure the output of bpimagelist, bpdbjobs, and bpclimagelist to show the amount of Accelerator backup data that was transferred over the network instead of the backup image size.
The following is the default bpimagelist output that shows the Accelerator image size (see the circled value 7799632). The amount of network-transferred data appears farther down in the output (225792):
You can configure NetBackup command output to show the network-transferred data in the image size field. In the output, the image size value is replaced with the network-transferred data value (see the following example). A script that reads the image size from the command output now reads the amount of network-transferred data.
In the following bpimagelist output, the image size field shows the network-transferred data (225792):
Note:
The same change occurs in the labeled output of the commands (such as with the -L option of bpimagelist). For example, the Kilobytes field shows the transferred data value (225792 in the example) rather than the Accelerator backup image size.
To enable the reporting of network-transferred data in the Accelerator image size field of bpimagelist, bpdbjobs, and bpclimagelist
- Use the bpsetconfig command to enable the output change.
To enable this change for the bpclimagelist command, enter the bpsetconfig command on the primary server. To enable this change for bpimagelist or bpdbjobs, enter the bpsetconfig command on the server where you intend to run bpimagelist or bpdbjobs.
Refer to Table: To enable the reporting of network-transferred data in the Accelerator image size field of bpimagelist, bpclimagelist, or bpdbjobs output for the bpsetconfig command to use based on the type of Accelerator backup that you want to report on.

UNIX, Linux
echo "REPLACE_IMAGE_SIZE_WITH_DATA_TRANSFERRED = REPLACE_IMAGE_SIZE_DISABLED" | /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/bpsetconfig
