Are you refering to backup objects? How did you find out that the above is
happening? issuing select statements on BACKUPS table?
I'm asking because this is not supposed to happen. when you change the
management class for some object on option file, next time you run a backup
those objects will be rebound to these new management class.
Also, make sure you run a full incremental backup after some change on the
management class attributes.
From the Admin Guide:
"A partial incremental backup should complete more quickly and require less
memory. When a client uses partial incremental backup, only files that have
changed since the last incremental backup are backed up. Attributes in the
management class that would cause a file to be backed up when doing a full
incremental backup are ignored. For example, unchanged files are not backed
up even when they are assigned to a management class that specifies absolute
mode and the minimum days between backups (frequency) has passed. The server
also does less processing for a partial incremental backup. For example, the
server does not expire files or rebind management classes to files during a
partial incremental backup. If clients must use partial incremental backups,
they should periodically perform full incremental backups to ensure that
complete backups are done and backup files are stored according to
policies."
What you may be having is:
- You changed attributes from the management class (backup copy group). The
management class name remains the same on the select results. To be sure the
new settings are applied (retention, number of versions, etc), run a full
incremental;
- You assigned the files to other management class. The select should
reports the new management class (after a backup). If the MC doesn't change,
you may have some typo on the option file, so the rebind is not actually
happening and the files fall on the default MC;
Archive objects are never rebound.
