Re: strange problem - missing file on server

Robin - Here are some possibilities, below.
Be sure to check your dsmerror.log and server Activity Log for
anomalies. You might try a 'dsmc i' on such a test file and see what
gives.
Backed-up files missing You believe that certain
files should
have been backed up from a
client file
system, but when you later
perform a
query or attempt a restoral,
they aren't
evident. Several possibilities:
- They were excluded from
backup.
- The type of backup being
done on your
system is -INCRBYDate and
the file was
introduced to the file
system via a
method which preserved its
old
datestamp.
- They cannot be seen
because the
directory containing them
expired from
TSM storage and the GUI
you are using
cannot show them because
the directory
is missing.
- The files went Inactive
and were
expired some time ago.
- The files are quite busy
and cannot
get backed up with your
prevailing
client CHAngingretries value.
Don't use a GUI to check for
such files:
use the CLI, as in 'dsmc
query backup
-inactive FileName'.
