As NW 'calculates in save sets', it must restart the backup of all unfinished
save sets from the very beginning. This happens when you restart a group.
Just to be clear, I didn't restart the group using the 'Restart' feature
under nmc (or nsradmin), and within the 'Restart window' value, to force
only the uncompleted save set to rerun. Instead, the group ran again the
next day under it's normal schedule. But is sounds like what you're
saying is that it wouldn't have mattered as far as that save set is
concerned. In either case, NW can't base a backup on an aborted save
set. Instead, it will back up the same files that it would have if the
previous failed save set had never been run, including, of course,
anything else that's been added or changed since then. That right?
And do not forget: if your backup media would be an AFTD, the aborted save set
will immediately be deleted. So there would not be anything left as a reference.
That makes sense. But as far as tape is concerned, is there any concern
over leaving the aborted save set entry in the media database? Keeping
it in there allows me to reference it for reporting purposes in the
future. I would never try to recover from it (e.g. saveset recover),
however. I'm not concerned about freeing up index space created by that
save set.
Thanks.
