Greetings, friends and comrades! Can you please help me confirm that I have my include/exclude list set up correctly? I am using TDP for Informix 4.1.3 with TSM API 4.2.2.1. My DBA's want to do 1 level0 backup on the weekend, and 1 level1 backup during the week. They want to keep a month's worth of each. Of course we also need to backup the logs.
I have created a management class for the logs whose backup copygroup has VerExists=1, VerDeleted=0, RetExtra=30, RetOnly=30 (I know, some redundancy there, but I am occasionally paranoid :). I created a management class for the dbspaces with VerExists=4, VerDeleted=1, RetExtra=30, RetOnly=30. The informixserver is named "inf2" and the servernum is 2. Since the inclexcl evaluates from the bottom up, I put it like this: exclude /var/adm/schedule.log include /inf2/inf2/.../* db_dbspace include /inf2/inf2/2/* db_log If I understand the documentation correctly, that should find the log files and assign them to the db_log management class. The dbspaces (assuming we don't have one named "2") should be trapped by the next line, and get assigned to db_dbspace. I will run some tests, of course, but before I get very far I wanted to check with people who may have done this before. Thanks! Kai.
