Hi, can anyone help me with the following problem. We have a
whole bunch of NT servers which have user internet cache files on them created
by both IE and Netscape. I would like to purge all of these from the ADSM
database as we end up with millions of files in the filespace thus slowing down
PIT restores significantly as well as wasting space.
The procedure I think we need is as follows
1/ First bind all the files to be purged to a
special management class which will cause all inactive versions to be retained
for 1 day only and when the file is deleted (or excluded) to retain last version
for only 1 day.
2/ Run a backup to ensure files get rebound
3/ Next replace the include statements with
excludes
4/ Run a backup to ensure files get excluded (ADSM should mark
all versions inactive and apply the deleted files policy to all remaining
versions)
5/ Replace the exclude statements with exclude.dir statements
to cause any subdirectories backed up to become inactive and prevent further
backups going there.
Firstly is all this pain necessary or is there a quicker way
which achieves the same result and do I need to wait for expiration to run
between any of the above steps?
Here are the include/exclude statements I plan to
use
Step 1
* Internet Explorer
include "*:\…\Temporary Internet Files\…\*.*" MC_PURGE
include "*:\…\Temporary Internet Files\*.*" MC_PURGE
* Communicator
include *:\…\Netscape\…\Cache\…\*.* MC_PURGE
include *:\…\Netscape\…\Cache\*.* MC_PURGE
Step 3
exclude "*:\…\Temporary Internet Files\…\*.*"
exclude "*:\…\Temporary Internet Files\*.*"
exclude *:\…\Netscape\…\Cache\…\*.*
exclude *:\…\Netscape\…\Cache\*.*
Step 5
exclude.dir "*:\…\Temporary Internet Files"
exclude.dir *:\…\Netscape\…\Cache
Does this look OK?
Thanks
Alan
