Hi If you're wondering how much data is actually stored on your client, for fileservers, you could just do a query filespace for all or a specific node. It will show you the size of the nodes filespaces, and how much space that is utilized for each filesystem.
As for using export node, the filedata=backup will show you the size for all versions stored in TSM, not only the active data (active data as in the latest of each file, or what is actually on your server). So only the latest version of files using export, use filedata=allactive instead of filedata=backup. This will show you what TSM thinks should be restored in case of a server failure. One thing though, if the filespace query is enough for you, I'd use that instead of export node since export node consumes more resources on your TSM server, and takes longer time to complete (especially for a lot of nodes). export node will not give you any information regarding NAS filers (if you used NDMP to back them up).
