How do I track down what is going on here? After restoring the database and most of the DISKPOOL from tape using DRM procedures, I get one DISK volume left over. It appears to contain a very limited amount of data from a single node.
We back up our DISK and TAPE pools to COPYPOOL. We then back-up the database, first with a DBFULL backup that stays in the library, and then with a DBSNAPSHOT that gets exported and sent to offsite storage. I realise this leaves a window between the time the DISKPOOL was backed up to the COPYPOOL and when the DBSNAPSHOT was started where, if NODE backups were active, they might put some data in the DISKPOOL that the database knows about when the DBSNAPSHOT is taken, but did not get into the COPYPOOL. How do I eliminate all other possibilities? The reason I ask, is that several COPYPOOL tapes, which were marked UNAVAILABLE, but had not yet been sent off-site at the time of the DBSNAPSHOT did NOT get marked as READ-ONLY by the recovery process. Therefore it appeared that we could not restore a great chunk of our DISKPOOL, until I discovered I had tapes that were marked "UNAVAILABLE". Once I marked those as READ-ONLY I got almost all of our DISKPOOL back, except for these few files on one volume. <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Werner (Vern) Kliewer Sr. ITS Analyst Mid-Range Support Manitoba Public Insurance (204)-985-7745 [EMAIL PROTECTED] >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (Sorry if this is a double post.
