Bright minds, I have a problem where a file system is declared to be backed up successfully but no file from that FS is actually backed up. I'm ABSOLUTELY positive that between the previous backup and the current (below) one there is at least a dozen files changed.
In the log snippet below a FS named /Mail/ is declared as successfully backed up but it can be seen that no file is actually transferred to TSM server. The FS /Mail/ is a "/var/spool/mail/" type of thing, very active, files constantly changing. I'm looking for a suggestion on how to approach this problem. Any links, pointers to relevant reading will be much appreciated. Client info is below the log snippet. --------------- dsmsched snippet begin------------------ 01/29/07 01:07:42 The Scheduler is under the control of the TSM Scheduler Daemon 01/29/07 01:07:42 Scheduler has been started by Dsmcad. 01/29/07 01:07:42 Querying server for next scheduled event. 01/29/07 01:07:42 Node Name: CARME 01/29/07 01:07:42 Session established with server LANCELOT: AIX-RS/6000 01/29/07 01:07:42 Server Version 5, Release 3, Level 3.3 01/29/07 01:07:42 Server date/time: 01/29/07 01:03:57 Last access: 01/28/07 01:17:37 01/29/07 01:07:42 --- SCHEDULEREC QUERY BEGIN 01/29/07 01:07:42 --- SCHEDULEREC QUERY END 01/29/07 01:07:42 Next operation scheduled: 01/29/07 01:07:42 ------------------------------------------------------------ 01/29/07 01:07:42 Schedule Name: BKP_MAIL_FULL2 01/29/07 01:07:42 Action: Incremental 01/29/07 01:07:42 Objects: "/Mail/" "/AA/" "/" 01/29/07 01:07:42 Options: 01/29/07 01:07:42 Server Window Start: 01:00:00 on 01/29/07 01/29/07 01:07:42 ------------------------------------------------------------ 01/29/07 01:07:42 Executing scheduled command now. 01/29/07 01:07:42 --- SCHEDULEREC OBJECT BEGIN BKP_MAIL_FULL2 01/29/07 01:00:00 01/29/07 01:07:43 Incremental backup of volume '/Mail/' 01/29/07 01:07:43 Incremental backup of volume '/AA/' 01/29/07 01:07:43 Incremental backup of volume '/' 01/29/07 01:07:44 ANS1898I ***** Processed 500 files ***** 01/29/07 01:07:44 Successful incremental backup of '/Mail/*' --------------- dsmsched snippet end----------------------- --------------- client info begin ---------------------- carme:/var/log# dsmc IBM Tivoli Storage Manager Command Line Backup/Archive Client Interface - Version 5, Release 2, Level 3.0 (c) Copyright by IBM Corporation and other(s) 1990, 2004.
