On my version of Informix, it is the "used space" in the database chunks that gets backed up(would guess that it is the same in the new versions as well) I run a query that calculates this for me, on Informix: database sysmaster;select sum(chksize - nfree) * 2048 (2048 for the 2k page size in my opsys) from syschunks -----Original Message----- From: owner-informix-list@iiug.org [mailto:owner-informix-list@iiug.org] On Behalf Of Darren_Jacobs@carmax.com Sent: 23 March 2005 03:12 PM To: informix-list@iiug.org; ids@iiug.org Subject: Tape capacity planning? Greetings, By chance, does any one have a script that will calculate the amount of space a backup will use on a tape? Thanks sending to informix-list sending to informix-list
