Hi again,
Sorry for having disturbed you : I found the reason for my problem ! It
looks like it is related to the fact that the server I used as a test
node was a brand new installed one, on which the date was never set (it
had Thu Feb 12 12:49:27 CST 1970), as soon as I corrected this, the
incremental image backup worked fine !
Cheers.
Arnaud

Subject: Incremental Image backup : no new/modified files stored ...
Hi List !
I'm currently testing image backups on AIX, having in sight implementing
it soon on some servers needing fast backups, but am currently
experiencing some problems with the incremental image backup, which does
not seem to backup anything ...
Test procedure was to create a new JFS filespace (/toto), put some files
in it and initiate a first backup with "dsmc backup image /toto" : this
worked fine, as following output testifies :
>dsmc backup image /toto
>IBM Tivoli Storage Manager
>Command Line Backup/Archive Client Interface - Version 5, Release 2,
>Level 0.0

Reserved.

I then created two new directories, added and modified some files, and
tried to use mode=incremental with following result :
>dsmc backup image /toto -mode=incremental IBM Tivoli Storage Manager
>Command Line Backup/Archive Client Interface - Version 5, Release 2,

So it looks like the incremental feature does not recognize the file
structure modifications I made. I tried several times with no success...
Anyone having an idea of what could be happenning here ? (server is at
5.2.2.1, on aix 5.2) Thanks in advance !
