Also, look into client documentation regarding the curly bracket

{/filespace/dir/path}/path/path/file

notation. You may be in a situation where you need to clarify exactly
where the 'query backup' Is looking.

I have found that the QUERY BACKUP is real sensitive to the format of
the
filespace...I normally use the GUI (either DSM or the web-client). Go to
Restore and then just click down to the directory to see if any files
show
up.

If you are running -VERBOSE as an option for the daily incremental, you
can
also look in the DSMSCHED.LOG file to see what has been backed up.

Hi All,

            We are trying to backup every night an oracle server, which
created a daily full export dump file around 27G in size. Combined with
other new files created on the server, we are expecting about 30G backup
each day. We have a script that queries the account log and email us the
report. The report shows that the server sends about 30G data over to
our
DSM server. But if I do "q ba *.dmp" under the directory where the
oracle
dump is generated, it shows that nothing has been backed up. I am very
positive that if 30G is backed up then the daily oracle export should be
the
major part. Is it possible that the accounting information is wrong?



Jie
