Provide a simple administrative command to show the the total size of backed-up data on a server instance on a given single day (24 hours)

While it is required to size the replication server pairs, the product does not provide a simple administrative command to show the total size of backed-up data on a server instance on a given single day (24 hours). Currently, the only way to get the value of this important statistic is by tackling the summary table with the following SQL:

dsmadmc -id=ADMIN_ID -password=ADMIN_PWD -comma "SELECT start_time, end_time, entity, activity, CAST(FLOAT(SUM(bytes)) / 1024 / 1024 / 1024 AS DECIMAL(8,2)) FROM summary WHERE (start_time between '2024-03-18 00:00:00 000000' and '2024-03-19 00:00:00 000000') and ( activity='BACKUP' OR activity='RESTORE' ) GROUP BY start_time, end_time, entity, activity" > 2024-03-18_BACKUP.csv

Yet, the administrator still has to process the output using a spreadsheet. This is cumbersome to be forced on any customers.
