Reporting the amount of Accelerator data transferred over the network

For Accelerator backup reporting, several NetBackup commands can report the amount of data that is transferred over the network for each Accelerator backup. The amount of transferred data is often much less than the size of the Accelerator backup image.

For backup reporting, it may be important to distinguish between the backup image size and the amount of data that was transferred over the network. 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.

Use bpsetconfig to set following configuration with an appropriate value:

REPLACE_IMAGE_SIZE_WITH_DATA_TRANSFERRED = <value>

Refer to the NetBackup for VMware Administrator's Guide for additional details and recommended procedures to set these values.
