Re: When Performing Scheduled Selective Backups?

2004-04-07 Thread Andrew Raibeck
Sung, Yes, selective backup uses the include/exclude list. There is no concept of DOMAIN processing for archive or selective backup, so you need to specify the paths in your OBJECTS list. If your goal is to selectively back up entire drives (though why one would do this I do not know), you can up

Re: Difference between move data and backup stgpool

Andy, BACKUP STGP does not check headers inside an 'object' on a tape, so if your file is damaged somewhere in the middle, but both start and end of the file good, then backup stgpool will not complain and you will never know that both primary and copy versions are bad until you do audit volume.

If these tapes are marked FULL, then the tapes ARE being filled efficiently. It's just that, as you said, your data is expiring at different rates. Because TSM doesn't expire files based on date, this is a natural side effect; tapes don't all free up at the same time. This is normal, and I've seen
