See one of my prior posts on this topic in the ADSM-L archives at http://msgs.adsm.org/cgi-bin/get/adsm0103/207.html for explanation and suggestions.

Hi all, last week we survived a RAID-Crash (6 of 8 HDs bad blocks - don,t ask...), and restored all data completely and timely, to my surprise... :) Afterwards, I took a closer look at the restore process, and found the following, which irritates me quite a bit: Given a directory on drive D: of the W2k-Server by the name of "backups". Into this dir, a PRESCHEDULECMD is run, which copies dumps of databases running on that machine into this directory. This is done by both, copying a single file as well as complete directories there. After that, an incremental backup of all of D: is run. The backup copy group applied looks like this: Backup Copy Groups : STANDARD STANDARD STANDARD STANDARD Policy Domain Name STANDARD Policy Set Name STANDARD Mgmt Class Name STANDARD Copy Group Name STANDARD Versions Data Exists 2 Versions Data Deleted 1 Retain Extra Versions 30 Retain Only Version 60 and is (of course) derived from the default settings, which seem sufficient to our needs and space limitations of the lib we have. I would expect to be able to restore, in the worst case, every file to a timespan of up to 60 days after deletion and, if a file had changed multiple times, up to two versions before the current one, up to 30 days. Now, if I fire up the GUI and take a look at different points of time at which (to which?) I could restore the folder or files to, I see (view also deleted files is enabled) today the folder and files, yesterday the folder with the little blue cross (for deleted?), and the day before yesterday nothing. The folder "backups" is not there. If i use the CLI and type tsm> query backup -pitt=06:00:00 -pitd=20.07.2003 d:\backups\ I still get listed a whole bunch of files, of which I assume that they are all younger than 6am, 20.7.03 - which is what i would expect. Note that currently I would not know how to restore such a state using the GUI. Is the difference in behaviour between GUI and CLI a bug, a feature, or something which I don,t understand since I am missing something? Thanks in advance for any input, kind regards, tobi... :) -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Dipl.-Ing.
