Hi *SMers. I recently updated our weekend Domino full backups to write to both the primary and secondary pools at the same time by using the COPYSTG and COPYCONT options. I set COPYCONT to yes to prevent having to backup the succesfully dual-streamed files but early on the write to the copy pool failed and continued only writing to the primary pool.
According to the documentation 'The simultaneous writes to the failing copy storage pool will resume after the client session has ended and a new session is started.' So, my question is: is there a simple way of getting the client to attempt to create another session with the server ? - I had initally thought of logging onto the client machine and disabling the network connection, but I don't think that's an ideal solution since they are live Domino servers. Also, I'd like to know more about the ins-and-outs of this COPYSTG option - why is it not able to work around the error? It seems weak - like a bit of a cop out. Something else - I find the storage pool option titled COPYCONTINUE rather confusing - YES should mean 'If an error is encountered during the simultaneous writes, fail the current transaction and continue with the simultaneous pool writes' not 'fail the whole process except those transactions which were passed succesfully' Does anyone else use this option with similar results?
