Well, you will notice that with UNIX the minimum you can get away
with is a mountable file system... that is:
q archive /home/.../* -subdir=yes
or
q archive /usr/.../* -subdir=yes
where a
q archive /.../* -subdir=yes
will give you something back it will only contain what is in /
and I must sadly admit that the good'ol command line let me down the
other day...I was doing a query of a backed up file... all the way
down to the last four characters at which time I used * and I got
back only the blah...day file listed and I was looking for the
blah...week file, I was bummed, went and got the sched.log for the
days around when the file was created, saw that it was backed up, ran
the query again using the fully qualified name and it showed it to me
and I restored it...
Which brings me around to my opnion ;-)
shy of a RESTORE/RETRIEVE of /filesystem/.../*
or a restore/retrieve of a single specific file ya' can't count on
anything...
later

Subject: Possibility to specify more then one file in Q ARCHIVE ?
Author: ADSM-L (ADSM-L AT VM.MARIST DOT EDU) at unix,mime

Hello,
We are running ADSM V2.1 on a AIX environment.
We want to check with the 'dsmc q archive <FILE> -fromdate=<DATE>'
if every file we asked to backup is really backupd ?
If we do this in a korn shell script it can take some
time to check every file.
Does anybody knows if it is possible to specify more then
one file (eg. input file-list ?), so that we must execute
the Q ARCHIVE only once ?
Thanks for any help,
Noel Hermans
