Hi,
So I have just seen a case where an old tape with a job that had it's
file
records pruned by the File Retention was bscan'd to get the records back into
the database.
The operator then tried to run a restore, but had managed to leave the tape
drive in an inconsistent state (unmounted, with the tape in it, so mtx had a
hernia), and the Restore job failed. That's unfortunate, but it happens, and
isn't the real problem. When the job failed and finished, the File Retention
period kicked in, and the bscan'd records were purged.
This is somewhat annoying, and means we have to bscan again (4 hours+). In the
general case of a bscan and a single successful restore, it's pretty much ok.
But in case of a failure of the restore, or if we find we have to do more than
one restore (the user decides they need more files after the first batch), this
is a real pain.
The somewhat crude approach is to raise File Retention on the client to a big
enough period to cover back to when the tape was written, while going through
the bscan/restore process, and setting it back to normal afterwards.
Is there a better way? I'm thinking of something like marking the job as
not-pruneable after the bscan and while doing restores, but I'm open to any
suggestions.
Thanks,
