Re: Problems with binding mgt class to file

A few things:

1) In your INCLUDE statement, change the *.* to a single asterisk, *, i.e.

   include d:\sqlbackups\...\* dbdumps

This ensures that any files not having an extension (i.e. file
name"myfile" versus "myfile.txt") are also bound to the management class.
In general, unless you want to distinguish between files with and without
extensions, using the single asterisk is recommended.

2) Note that directories will not necessarily be bound to the DBDUMPS
management class. Rather, they are bound to the management class with the
highest RETONLY setting, unless you override this rule with the DIRMC
option. Search http://search.adsm.org for past related discussion.

3) If indeed your database files have extensions in their file names and
you are noticing files, not directories being bound to a management class
other than DBDUMPS, it is almost certainly a problem related to your
include/exclude list. It would help to see the output from the command

   dsmc query inclexcl

(make sure you are using the same options file and node name as the
backups when you run this command).

Once the INCLUDE issues are straightened out, all existing backup versions
will be rebound to the DBDUMPS management class.

Problems with binding mgt class to file






I've got some database dumps that we do every night (full backups) that I
want to bind to a specific management class called DBDUMPS. In the dsm.opt
file, I've got the following:

include "d:\SQLBackups\...\*.*" DBDUMPS

Yet when I look at this in the baclient GUI, all of those files available
for recovery are using the default management class.

Something I'm missing here?

Also, once I do manage to get those to the right management class, how do
I
rebind any files to apply to the management class?

TIA,
Mike Bantz
