Hello,
our setup is: 6.0.3 on Solaris to a DLT tape jukebox. We used to have
6.0.1 when the backups in question were made.
There was an error in the program that mounted backup filesystems for
a period of time, so that /backups/data1 for instance was empty after
April. data1 had good backups up to April, though. My question is:
given that the filesystem was empty, did Networker think that all the
files in it were deleted? If I restore the data1 backups as combined
savesets instead of individually, will Networker decide to skip files
backed up in earlier savesets because they are not in the post-April
savesets?
In order to circumvent the possible problem described above, I've been
either restoring individual savesets, or stepping through April
day-by-day with "changetime" in the recover program.
Is there a description of the saveset backup algorithm, and of the
saveset consolidation algorithm anywhere? That would be most helpful.
Thank you
Ted Zlatanov
