Check/View File/Folder size before NDMP restore?

Not directly.  If ssid=folder size, then you can use mminfo. If not (and most likely), you can check via browsable recover and see size of specific backup set (in case of incremental restore you will have to do the math for each ssid in block).

Thanks for the reply Horvje

The browsable size doesn't seem right,..for example the GUI size shown 10240 (B/KB/MB? Still doesn't tally anyways) but properties shows 389 MB

I was not referring to GUI - more CLI.  For example:

recover> pwd /vol/nXXXX303/XXXX_tst_wli_logs/audit recover> ll total 3072 256 -rw-r----- 8002     8002      1212233 Jul 05 2012 XXXX_tst_wli_ms1.log 256 -rw-r----- 8002     8002      5121683 Jul 05 2012 XXXX_tst_wli_ms1.log.1 256 -rw-r----- 8002     8002      5121351 Jul 05 2012 XXXX_tst_wli_ms1.log.2 256 -rw-r----- 8002     8002      5121517 Jul 05 2012 XXXX_tst_wli_ms1.log.3 256 -rw-r----- 8002     8002      5121683 Jul 05 2012 XXXX_tst_wli_ms1.log.4 256 -rw-r----- 8002     8002      5121849 Jul 05 2012 XXXX_tst_wli_ms1.log.5 256 -rw-r----- 8002     8002      1088704 Jul 05 2012 XXXX_tst_wli_ms2.log 256 -rw-r----- 8002     8002      5121351 Jul 05 2012 XXXX_tst_wli_ms2.log.1 256 -rw-r----- 8002     8002      5121185 Jul 05 2012 XXXX_tst_wli_ms2.log.2 256 -rw-r----- 8002     8002      5121185 Jul 05 2012 XXXX_tst_wli_ms2.log.3 256 -rw-r----- 8002     8002      5121351 Jul 05 2012 XXXX_tst_wli_ms2.log.4 256 -rw-r----- 8002     8002      5121185 Jul 05 2012 XXXX_tst_wli_ms2.log.5

The size above is in bytes.

Not Direct way, But below will be help full for you:


recover –c client name –s destination server name –iR

cd /path/to/your/dir


add # whatever
files you want to restore.


and then use


list -l


and save the output to an external file(excel) and sum the sizes from that.
