Hi Folks,
I have a question regarding DBBACKUPTRIGGER.
First I will set the scene. We have ADMIN SCHEDULES defined to execute a
FULL DB BACKUP weekly, and on a DAILY basis we take two INCREMENTAL DB
BACKUPS, again using ADMIN SCHEDULES.
Our DBBACKUPTRIGGER is defined as follows :
Full Device Class: 3590_CLASS
Incremental Device Class: 3590_CLASS
Log Full Percentage: 60
Incrementals Between Fulls: 14
Last Update by (administrator): SL073E
Last Update Date/Time: 04/04/02 11:04:27
Now the question.
If more than 14 Incremental Backups are taken after a FULL DB BACKUP, should
the 15th Incremental not automatically trigger a FULL DB BACKUP ?
We had some problems at the time a FULL DB BACKUP was scheduled on two
consecutive weekend's and ended up with an incremental count of 26.
I could not understand why a FULL DB Backup had not been triggered.
Or have I misunderstood DBBACKUPTRIGGER ?
Any guidance would be appreciated, thanks.
