Hi guys,
I noticed something unexpected with creating archives. Let me explain what I
did:
1) Under root in the homedir I created a directory called test with two
subdirs (test1 and test2) and one file (testfile).
2) The directory test and everything in it is owned by a non-root account
in Linux.
When I create an archive with dsmc ar /root/test/ -subdir=yes I notice that
everything is archived as expected:
Directory--> 4,096 /root/test [Sent]
Normal File--> 1,032 /root/test/testfile [Sent]
Directory--> 4,096 /root/test/test1 [Sent]
Directory--> 4,096 /root/test/test2 [Sent]
Archive processing of '/root/test/*' finished without failure.
Then I issued the same command again. This time the output is not the same:
Normal File--> 1,032 /root/test/testfile [Sent]
Archive processing of '/root/test/*' finished without failure.
Only the file is archived, not the directory itself, nor the subdirectories.
Not a big issue you might think, but it can be when you retrieve the whole
tree. When the first archive is made yesterday and the second one today, the
result of a retrieve will be different. A retrieve with -fromdate="04/15/2018"
will retrieve the file and subdirs with the original (non-root) owner. A
retrieve with -fromdate="04/16/2018" however will retrieve the file with the
non-root owner and it will recreate the /root/test directory with root as
owner. Since the subdirs are not archived on the 16th, they are not being
retrieved at all.
I cannot understand why the (sub)directories are not being archived during the
second archive command.
