[gpfsug-discuss] mmbackup feature request

[Jonathan Buzzard]

Would it be possible to have the mmbackup output display the percentage 
output progress when backing up files?

So at the top we you see something like this

Tue Sep  5 23:13:35 2023 mmbackup:changed=747204, expired=427702, 
unsupported=0 for server [XXXX]

Then after it does the expiration you see during the backup lines like

Wed Sep  6 02:43:53 2023 mmbackup:Backing up files: 527024 backed up, 
426018 expired, 4408 failed. (Backup job exit with 4)

It would IMHO be helpful if it looked like

Wed Sep  6 02:43:53 2023 mmbackup:Backing up files: 527024 (70.5%) 
backed up, 426018 (100%) expired, 4408 failed. (Backup job exit with 4)

Just based on the number of files. Though as I look at it now I am 
curious about the discrepancy in the number of files expired, given that 
the expiration stage allegedly concluded with no errors?

Tue Sep  5 23:21:49 2023 mmbackup:Completed policy expiry run with 0 
policy errors, 0 files failed, 0 severe errors, returning rc=0.
Tue Sep  5 23:21:49 2023 mmbackup:Policy for expiry returned 0 Highest 
TSM error 0
