I plan to use virtual tape for nightly backups. I am trying to determine how much disk to add so I need to know the size of the nightly backup. To determine current bytes written I used BRMS' Display Media Attributes for the volume. I then used SST and got quite a bit lower number. Which is the accurate number?
