Are you refering to backup objects? How did you find out that the above is happening? issuing select statements on BACKUPS table? I'm asking because this is not supposed to happen. when you change the management class for some object on option file, next time you run a backup those objects will be rebound to these new management class. Also, make sure you run a full incremental backup after some change on the management class attributes.
From the Admin Guide:
"A partial incremental backup should complete more quickly and require less memory. When a client uses partial incremental backup, only files that have changed since the last incremental backup are backed up. Attributes in the management class that would cause a file to be backed up when doing a full incremental backup are ignored. For example, unchanged files are not backed up even when they are assigned to a management class that specifies absolute mode and the minimum days between backups (frequency) has passed. The server also does less processing for a partial incremental backup. For example, the server does not expire files or rebind management classes to files during a partial incremental backup. If clients must use partial incremental backups, they should periodically perform full incremental backups to ensure that complete backups are done and backup files are stored according to policies." What you may be having is: - You changed attributes from the management class (backup copy group). The management class name remains the same on the select results. To be sure the new settings are applied (retention, number of versions, etc), run a full incremental; - You assigned the files to other management class. The select should reports the new management class (after a backup). If the MC doesn't change, you may have some typo on the option file, so the rebind is not actually happening and the files fall on the default MC; Archive objects are never rebound. -- Helder Garcia
