Joni, Changing the serialization of the backup copy group will have no impact to current backup data. Your backups may go slightly faster if you have had a lot of retries before. Be aware of two things though. 1) There may still be certain files which cannot be opened for backup. 2) Depends on the data whether dynamic is a suitable serialization. It is no good presenting the users with a backup if it is not usable on a restore, so you/they need to test. John

I have a request from users to change the management of their data to backup open & closed files, which would be dynamic for the copy serialization parameter of the backup copy group. I want to change this parameter for the default backup copy group. I have looked in the book to see what this will change, but it doesn't really say much. If I change the copy serialization, will it do anything to current data? From my point of view, as soon as I make this change all future backups will backup all files on the server (whether the file is open or not). Is this a correct assumption? Thank you!!!
