<h1 class="topictitle1">Complete Backup Range</h1>
|
||
|
<div><p>When an optical *PRIMARY volume to copied to an optical *BACKUP
|
||
|
volume a special file called a Complete Backup Range is written to the *BACKUP
|
||
|
volume.</p>
|
||
|
<p>This file indicates the last time a backup was done. The system keeps backup
|
||
|
control information for the volume as well as each directory on the volume.
|
||
|
If the volume or directory was successfully backed up the Complete Backup
|
||
|
Range will contain both a starting and ending date and time. When a range
|
||
|
exists for an optical backup volume or directory, it has a specific meaning:
|
||
|
The backup directory or volume has a copy of all the created or changed files
|
||
|
within the date range that correspond to the primary directory or volume.</p>
|
||
|
<div class="p">For example, volume BVOL1 is an optical *BACKUP volume for *PRIMARY volume
|
||
|
PVOL1. BVOL1 contains directory /DIR1 that has a Complete Backup Range as
|
||
|
follows:<ul><li>Start Date: 1/1/99</li>
|
||
|
<li>Start Time: 09:00:00</li>
|
||
|
<li>End Date: 1/30/99</li>
|
||
|
<li>End Time: 22:00:00 </li>
|
||
|
</ul>
|
||
|
</div>
|
||
|
<p>This means that the system backe up all the changed or created files in
|
||
|
/DIR1 on PVOL1 since 9:00 a.m. on 1 January 1999. The system backed up files
|
||
|
to /DIR1 on BVOL1 at 10:00 p.m. on 30 January 1999. Any files that were created
|
||
|
or changed on *PRIMARY volume PVOL1 in directory /DIR1 after 22:00:00 on 1/30/99
|
||
|
would not yet have been backed up.</p>
|
||
|
<p><strong>Complete Backup Range for Directories: </strong>The Complete Backup Range
|
||
|
for a directory does not encompass all subdirectories of the directory. In
|
||
|
other words, each directory has its own unique Complete Backup Range. For
|
||
|
example, assume that directory /A has a Complete Backup Range of 1 March 1999
|
||
|
through 1 May 1999. This does not necessarily mean that directory /A/B has
|
||
|
the same complete range. In fact, /A/B might have no Complete Backup Range
|
||
|
at all. The complete range does not reflect a hierarchical range over all
|
||
|
directories within that subtree.</p>
|
||
|
<div class="p">The system updates the Complete Backup Range for a backup directory after
|
||
|
it copies all eligible files in the primary directory.<div class="note"><span class="notetitle">Note:</span> Note: Use the
|
||
|
SLTFILE parameter on the CPYOPT command to determine if a file is eligible.
|
||
|
If you use *ALL, all files are eligible to copy. If you use *CHANGED, only
|
||
|
those files that were created or changed since the last CPYOPT command are
|
||
|
eligible. If you specified *NEW, the system copies files only if they do not
|
||
|
exist on the target volume.</div>
|
||
|
</div>
|
||
|
<p>For example, FILE.001 gets copied on 1 March 1999 as a result of a complete
|
||
|
backup of directory /DIR1. At this time /DIR1 is given an ending range of
|
||
|
1 March 1999. On 1 April 1999, the user has the system back up directory /DIR1
|
||
|
again by specifying SLTFILE(*CHANGED). However, the back up affects only the
|
||
|
files that have changed. If FILE.001 has not changed since the previous CPYOPT
|
||
|
command, this file is not eligible to copy. However, the system updates the
|
||
|
ending range for /DIR1 to 1 April 1999 if none of the eligible files fail
|
||
|
to copy.</p>
|
||
|
<p><strong>Complete Backup Range for Optical Volumes:</strong> The Complete Backup Range
|
||
|
for an optical volume is very similar to that of an optical directory. The
|
||
|
complete range for a directory represents the relationship between the files
|
||
|
in a backup directory and those in the primary directory. Likewise, the complete
|
||
|
range for an optical backup volume represents the relationship between the
|
||
|
files on an optical backup volume and those on the primary volume. You must
|
||
|
back up all eligible files on a volume to update the complete range of the
|
||
|
volume.</p>
|
||
|
<p>You can update the complete range for a volume only if the
|
||
|
CPYOPT command specifies the FROMPATH(/) and CPYSUBDIR(*YES) variables. This
|
||
|
ensures that the system will process all files on the *PRIMARY volume.</p>
