Well, either something is broken or something isn't what you are expecting...
to verify, from your unix prompt, in the directory "/home/u/NetCmmnd/proyecto/rexx/" do a "df ./" it should show /home as the file system... AIX-> df ./ Filesystem 512-blocks Free %Used Iused %Iused Mounted on /home 3899392 1061264 73% 3040 1% /home then double check tsm> q file Num Last Incr Date Type File Space Name --- -------------- ---- --------------- <... stuff deteted ...> 6 06/13/2003 06:16:36 JFS /home <... more stuff deleted ...> now do an "ls -l /home/u/NetCmmnd/proyecto/rexx/*.rex" and if any of those files show a date later than the date on the "Last Incr Date", it will be backed up, every time you do your incremental with the -incrbydate (until you do another plain "incr" and the "last incr date" is updated... NOTE: a ~failed~ incremental will not update the "last incr date" an incremental must finish successfully for the date to be updated... IF not, I would look into upgrading the client code. Might I point out that you have not provided any information on what TSM client level you are at, what platform it is for (AIX, Solaris, etc...) you have not provided the listing of what you are seeing with your "q file" and you are not providing information on an "ls -l" of the files in question. without any hard proof of what they are... only guesses can be made... sorry...

If I do not mofified anything file, why TSM backed up again? Janeth -----Mensaje original----- De: Dwight Cook [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Enviado el: Viernes, 13 de Junio de 2003 01:08 p.m. Para: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Asunto: Re: active version The manual states that: If a file system is specified, all new and changed files are backed up. In addition, the last incremental date for the file space is updated on the server. If a file or directory is specified, the last incremental date is not updated. This means the file or directory might be backed up again if a later backup is performed using the incrbydate option. so if you did I /home/u/NetCmmnd/proyecto/rexx/*.rex followed by I -incrbydate /home/u/NetCmmnd/proyecto/rexx/*.rex the last backup date of the filesystem "home" would not have been updated... you can view the last backup date of the file system via a query file hope this helps Dwight Lopez Janeth <[EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] .VE> cc: Sent by: "ADSM: Subject: Re: active version Dist Stor Manager" <[EMAIL PROTECTED] .EDU> 06/13/2003 10:51 AM Please respond to "ADSM: Dist Stor Manager" I did an full backup and then did a incremental by date backup I -incrbydate /home/u/NetCmmnd/proyecto/rexx/*.rex Node Name: EQ201PATROL02 Session established with server ADSM: MVS Server Version 3, Release 1, Level 2.50 Server date/time: 06/12/03 19:54:43 Last access: 06/12/03 19:42:05 Incremental by Date of volume '/home/u/NetCmmnd/proyecto/rexx/*.rex' Normal File--> 173 /home/u/NetCmmnd/proyecto/rexx/MsgOperator.rex [Sent] Normal File--> 1,292 /home/u/NetCmmnd/proyecto/rexx/comando.rex [Sent] Normal File--> 1,224 /home/u/NetCmmnd/proyecto/rexx/consolaDELR.rex [Sent] Normal File--> 10,969 /home/u/NetCmmnd/proyecto/rexx/em_controlm.rex [Sent] Normal File--> 8,050 /home/u/NetCmmnd/proyecto/rexx/em_os390.rex [Sent] Normal File--> 8,404 /home/u/NetCmmnd/proyecto/rexx/em_os390_phpt.rex [Sent] Normal File--> 8,301 /home/u/NetCmmnd/proyecto/rexx/em_os390_phpt_SMS.rex [Sent] Normal File--> 5,235 /home/u/NetCmmnd/proyecto/rexx/em_snmp.rex [Sent] Normal File--> 8,648 /home/u/NetCmmnd/proyecto/rexx/em_snmp_phpt.rex [Sent] Normal File--> 1,792 /home/u/NetCmmnd/proyecto/rexx/levantar_agente.rex [Sent] Normal File--> 2,429 /home/u/NetCmmnd/proyecto/rexx/luis.rex [Sent] Normal File--> 6,294 /home/u/NetCmmnd/proyecto/rexx/nt2_NetCmmnd.rex [Sent] Normal File--> 779 /home/u/NetCmmnd/proyecto/rexx/nt2_borrar_notif_diaria.rex [Sent] Normal File--> 800 /home/u/NetCmmnd/proyecto/rexx/nt2_borrar_notif_phpt.rex [Sent] Normal File--> 13,591 /home/u/NetCmmnd/proyecto/rexx/nt2_patrol_clear.rex [Sent] Normal File--> 14,089 /home/u/NetCmmnd/proyecto/rexx/nt2_patrol_critica.rex [Sent] Normal File--> 24,681 /home/u/NetCmmnd/proyecto/rexx/nt2_patrol_critica_sap.rex [Sent] Normal File--> 14,105 /home/u/NetCmmnd/proyecto/rexx/nt2_patrol_critica_work.rex [Sent] Normal File--> 14,056 /home/u/NetCmmnd/proyecto/rexx/nt2_patrol_major.rex [Sent] Normal File--> 14,130 /home/u/NetCmmnd/proyecto/rexx/nt2_patrol_minor.rex [Sent] Normal File--> 13,270 /home/u/NetCmmnd/proyecto/rexx/nt2_patrol_phpt_fast.rex [Sent] Normal File--> 13,221 /home/u/NetCmmnd/proyecto/rexx/nt2_patrol_phpt_janeth.rex [Sent] Normal File--> 13,955 /home/u/NetCmmnd/proyecto/rexx/nt2_patrol_warn.rex [Sent] Normal File--> 2,397 /home/u/NetCmmnd/proyecto/rexx/os390not.rex [Sent] Normal File--> 276 /home/u/NetCmmnd/proyecto/rexx/paconsolapatrol.rex [Sent] Normal File--> 2,475 /home/u/NetCmmnd/proyecto/rexx/paemail_ora.rex [Sent] Normal File--> 10,021 /home/u/NetCmmnd/proyecto/rexx/phptprueba.rex [Sent] Normal File--> 6,230 /home/u/NetCmmnd/proyecto/rexx/ppInitiate.rex [Sent] Normal File--> 6,304 /home/u/NetCmmnd/proyecto/rexx/ppJL.rex [Sent] Normal File--> 1,277 /home/u/NetCmmnd/proyecto/rexx/prg_rexx.rex [Sent] Normal File--> 1,425 /home/u/NetCmmnd/proyecto/rexx/pruebaoserep.rex [Sent] Normal File--> 1,313 /home/u/NetCmmnd/proyecto/rexx/vconesa1.rex [Sent] Normal File--> 1,335 /home/u/NetCmmnd/proyecto/rexx/vconesa2.rex [Sent] Normal File--> 1,744 /home/u/NetCmmnd/proyecto/rexx/vconsola.rex [Sent] Successful incremental backup of '/home/u/NetCmmnd/proyecto/rexx/*.rex' Total number of objects inspected: 61 Total number of objects backed up: 34 Total number of objects updated: 0 Total number of objects rebound: 0 Total number of objects deleted: 0 Total number of objects expired: 0 Total number of objects failed: 0 Total number of bytes transferred: 229.69 KB Data transfer time: 3.77 sec Network data transfer rate: 60.80 KB/sec Aggregate data transfer rate: 45.76 KB/sec Objects compressed by: 0% Elapsed processing time: 00:00:05 Thu Jun 12 20:02:57 AST 2003 if the files do not was updated, why TSM backed up all files in the incremental by date? Janeth -----Mensaje original----- De: Dwight Cook [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Enviado el: Viernes, 13 de Junio de 2003 11:08 a.m. Para: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Asunto: Re: active version So all "active" versions of files stored on a TSM server is what you can classify as ~the current restore set~. They make up all the data as it existed the last time a ~backup~ was performed (be it "incr" or "sel") Now, what might be missing ? files that are found in "exclude" statements, files that failed to back up, etc... Say we are on a windows box and you do a restore -subdir=yes C:\* tsm will give you back all the "active" files.
