Re: Turbo Store Question (Problem maybe?)



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.
