Re: Novell DB files skipped from Tivoli Incremental backups

Hi Tim,
We are backing up 80 GW post offices with 50,000 users and millions of
object each.
We don't have any problems.
We are using NetWare 6.5 SP2.
Are you using the TSAFS switch EnableGroupwise=true ?
We are using a Management Class for (Shrdynamic) as its copy
Serialization.
And we don't need any retries.
The only files we had to exclude are messages which are in the process of
being sent or received (transient).
Other than that we have a 100% success rate. These are tested backups as we
are restoring at least 5 post offices a week.
Cheers
Kind Regards
Marco Malgarini

To satisfy our Novell client ( They know that such "fuzzy" backups may
or may not restore properly)
I am going to set up the Management Class for (Shrdynamic) as its copy
serialization. They
would like to at least try this.
If we have a Management Class already set up could I just edit the
dsm.opt file of
the Novell servers and enter the following
include GW:/.../*.db SPECIAL<<<<name of Mgmt class
Mgmt Class Name SPECIAL
Default Mgmt Class ? No
Description Mgmt Class for open Files
PRODUCTION PRODUCTION SPECIAL STANDARD
Policy Domain Name PRODUCTION
Policy Set Name PRODUCTION
Mgmt Class Name SPECIAL
Copy Group Name STANDARD
Versions Data Exists 14
Versions Data Deleted 7
Retain Extra Versions 90
Retain Only Version 365
Copy Mode MODIFIED
Copy Serialization SHRDYNAMIC
Copy Frequency 1
Copy Destination BACKUPPOOL
Table of Contents (TOC) Destination -
Last Update Date/Time 2006-09-08 13:14:22.000000
Last Update by (administrator) $$CONFIG_MANAGER$$
Managing profile DEFAULT_PROFILE
If I can do this would I still have to validate and activate the
modified policyset?
Thanks
