Re: Turbo Store Question (Problem maybe?)



there are no UDC's touching the DB in question.

I suspect the backup program looks at the date and does not include the time
in determining what to back up and what to leave alone.

The DB in question was accessed at 1:02am, full backup started at 7am and
then the partial started at about 1pm immediately following the full system
backup......

The DB access/mod date is 07/27/08 the same as the backups so I am assuming
that it is being included because the date in the partial backup states
=07/27/2008........

That's what I think. However, it isn't exactly what I would want from a
backup program. I would have preferred the DB to have not been on the backup
tape......

No big deal really, I guess....

I can't answer for why files that have not been touched made it on the
partial. Did you do a listf, -3 to see access dates, modification dates,
etc... for example if you do a PRINT ;SEARCH within MPEX without the
KEEPAMDATES parameter, it may change the access dates.


No one else is accessing my system at all other than myself.

The last time this database was accessed was at 1:02 this morning which is
correct.

However, I did not do the full system backup until around 7am.........

The partial backup did not happen until about 1pm....

Hi All :)
I seem to recall some unusual behavior with the online backup durations
when I had a process or user holding onto things (usually quietly in a
manner not easily observed)

You might want to check who and what is on the process trees?

Brian,

I can't answer for why files that have not been touched made it on the
partial. Did you do a listf, -3 to see access dates, modification dates,
etc... for example if you do a PRINT ;SEARCH within MPEX without the
KEEPAMDATES parameter, it may change the access dates.

However, do yourself a favor, Friends don't let friends use the INTER
option. :-) If the tape is ever corrupt, you have virtually no chance of
recovering any file. W/O INTER, you may be able to get everything BUT the
damaged file.

Also, try using MAXTAPEBUF, I have seen it work wonders, usually a 30%
improvement in speed.

Today, 07/27/2008, I did a full system backup thus:

!STORE
@.@.@;*T;SHOW;PROGRESS=15;INTER;STATISTICS;DIRECTORY;&
!ONLINE=START;PARTIALDB;COMPRESS=LOW

Worked just fine (I'm just a bit concerned about the
time it takes tho -- 7+
hours)

After the backup was done I immediately did a nightly
backup thus --
STORE

@.@.@;*T;SHOW;PROGRESS=5;DATES>=07/27/2008;INTER;STATISTICS;DIRECTORY;ONLINE=START;PARTIALDB;COMPRESS=LOW

This partial backup had a bunch of files on it that
shouldn't have been on
it -- two or three different TurboIMAGE databases that had
not been accessed
since 07/26/2008 or before.

No other users on the box except for me....


Can anyone tell me why these files were on this partial
backup?

TIA,
Brian Donaldson.
