It is my understanding the export only deals with data as it existed at the initial start of the EXPORT process. Newly arriving data from backup is not exported.
The approach I used: Export the node, making note of the date the process started. Use SUSPEND EXPORT * in your daily maintenance scripts to temporarily pause the export before the next backup schedule. Then use RESTART EXPORT * in later scripting to pick up where that export left off. In time, perhaps a few days, the export will finish. When the initial export is done use the EXPORT <node> FROMDATE= parameter to collect the new backup activity. That let the node manager and I coordinate the cut of the node to the new TSM server on any date that was convenient without my manual oversight of repeated exports every day. -----Original Message----- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Jason Barkes Sent: Friday, July 25, 2014 3:54 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [ADSM-L] IMPORT / EXPORT Hi, I am currently export nodes to a new server which is working fine. Some of these exports are taking a very long time due to collocation not being switched on. I cannot stop the backups in the mean time. What I'm trying to find out is: Does the export just work with data retrieved at the start and therefore any new Active data is not included when the export finishes?
