Query Image

The following information about file system images is displayed:

• Image Size - The volume size which was backed up.
• Stored Size - The actual image size that is stored on the server. The stored image on the IBM Spectrum Protect server is the same size as the volume capacity. For online snapshot-based image backups, the stored image can be larger than the file system based on the size of the cache files. The stored image on the server is the same size as the volume capacity.
• Stored Size - The actual image size that is stored on the server. Because image backup allows you to back up only used blocks in a file system, the stored image size on the IBM Spectrum Protect server could be smaller than the volume size. For online image backups, the stored image can be larger than the file system based on the size of the cache files.
• File system type

• Management class that is assigned to image backup
• Whether the image backup is an active or inactive copy
• The image name
