MMINFO Quick Reference Guide
mminfo is the primary NetWorker command for viewing information contained in the media database. The intent of this article is not to show you all of the command options and parameters that you can use with mminfo. Instead, we will look at ways mminfo can be used in the "real world".
For a complete description of all the mminfo options and parameters, please refer to the mminfo(1M) man page

# mminfo -a -r 'volume,%used' -q 'full' volume (%) smurf.002 full smurf.018 full schmulpf.003 full schmulpf.004 full schlumpf.005 full
Show the size of your savesets
# mminfo -q 'client=alpha99' -r 'name,level,sumsize' name lvl size D:\ full 500 MB J:\ full 500 MB D:\ full 500 MB J:\ full 291 MB D:\ full 350 MB bootstrap full 132 KB D:\ full 640 MB J:\ incr 1167 KB bootstrap 9 122 KB D:\ incr 50 MB D:\ inc 1281 KB
Show all savesets for a client performed on a given date
# mminfo -a -c bravo00 -t '10/29/00' volume client date size level name smurf.002 bravo00 10/29/00 149 KB full /export/home smurf.002 bravo00 10/29/00 5 MB full /var smurf.003 bravo00 10/29/00 47 MB full / smurf.003 bravo00 10/29/00 672 MB full /usr smurf.007 bravo00 10/29/00 7 MB full /opt

# mminfo -r ssid -q 'pool=Default, ! incomplete, copies<2' 31417 31425 31433 31416 31423
NOTE: This command is useful to use in a script to obtain the SSID's that are not cloned. These SSID's can then be passwd to nsrclone to perform the cloning process
Variation To make the output more readable try:
# mminfo -r ssid,client,name,savetime' \
-q 'pool=Default, ! incomplete, copies<2'
