Hi,
I did some tests and I got different results. All tests were done with this backup specification (conventional incremental backup):
DATALIST "Test 1"
GROUP "Tests"
DESCRIPTION "Test 1"
DYNAMIC 1 5
DEFAULTS
{
FILESYSTEM
{
-public
-profile
-no_storedrim
-no_vss
-no_async
} -keepcatalog same_as_dataprotection
RAWDISK
{
}
}
DEVICE "B2D_DC_Files_gw1"
{
}
WINFS "T: [HOME]" some.server.com:"/T"
{
-trees
"/myrood/Backup test root"
-no_vss
}
Observations:
(1) Session messages did not show whether Full or Incr was used, where can I find this information? I was able to track this information from the number of files backed up and also looking at the restore sessions, but only because I new which files to look for
(2) Logging level has no impact (does not force full backup)
(3) documentaiton states that in the case of changes in trees, full backup will be used - not true, when new directory was added, incremental backed up was used and that new directory with files were backed up
(4) documentaiton states that when file is moved to different location without changing its modification time, conventional incremental backup will not be see it - not true, the file was backed up
(5) OB2NOTREEWALK=1 has no impact
So my question still holds, how does incremental backup work?
Kind regards, Jan
