<h1 class="topictitle1">Complete backup range start date and time</h1>
<div><p>The starting date and time of a Complete Backup Range for an optical
backup volume or directory is the earliest time that is specified on a CPYOPT
command when all eligible files on the volume or directory were successfully
copied. </p>
<p>You can specify a starting date and time on the CPYOPT command. This system
uses time to select the files from the primary volume to copy to the optical
backup volume. The system copies any files that are created or changed on
or after this time. First, the system must successfully copy all eligible
files for a directory or volume. Then the system sets the starting date and
time for the corresponding optical backup volume or directory to the specified
time. The definition indicates that this value is the earliest time that is
specified on a CPYOPT command. Consider the following example. </p>
<p><strong>Scenario — Starting Date and Time:</strong>A user issues the CPYOPT command
for directory /DIR1 by specifying 1 May 1999 as the starting date. If all
eligible files successfully copy, then the system sets the complete starting
date for the backup directory /DIR1 to 1 May 1999.</p>
<p>Now assume that the user issues the CPYOPT command again for /DIR1. This
time the system sets the starting date to 1 April 1999. This request copies
any files that have changed since the last CPYOPT command. Additionally, it
copies any files that were created between 1 April 1999 and 1 May 1999 that
were not selected on the previous request. If all eligible files again copy
successfully, then the starting date for backup directory /DIR1 changes to
1 April 1999. Future copies specifying earlier starting dates would produce
similar results. </p>
<p>Use *BEGIN and *AVAIL for the starting date and time on the CPYOPT command.
This will copy all the files from a primary directory or volume, regardless
of the create or change time for the file.</p>
