Re: Can mixed incremental/selective backups be used to consolidate "offsite" data?

Adrian, I must be expressing myself badly because you do not understand me. My copypool tapes are housed in an offsite tape library. They never leave there unless they go bad. The move nodedata's run there, on the offsite library-- on its drives. We do not use a courier to move tapes between our

I have a number of filesystems on various servers which fragment badly in my offsite (copy) storage pool when using progressive incremental backups. The filesystems aren't particularly large, but files are frequently created/modifed/deleted. For local volumes I can simply "move nodedata" occasiona

It looks like you put the -subdir=yes option in the "objects" setting when you defined the schedule. When defining the schedule, specify options=-subdir=yes objects="/fs1/ /fs2/ /fs3/ ..." Basically you code these as you would from the command line, e.g.: dsmc selective /fs1/ /fs2/ /fs

I suspect your immediate action ran 7 hours later because your node is using POLLING schedmode and you have randomization set to 50%. Immediate action schedules are defined with a huge starting window, so although I don't typically use POLLING, I've never understood how it would ever work for those
