Tivoli Storage Manager for NetWare Backup-Archive Client Installation and User's Guide
When you request an incremental backup, Tivoli Storage Manager backs up a
file if all of the following requirements are met:
- The file is not specified in an exclude statement in your include-exclude
list. If you do not have an include-exclude list, all files are
considered eligible for backup.
- The selected management class contains a backup copy group. See Chapter 7, Automating Tasks for more information on management classes and backup copy
groups.
- The file meets the serialization requirements defined in the backup copy
group. If serialization is static or shared
static, and the file is in use each time Tivoli Storage Manager attempts
to back it up, the file is not backed up. See Using Management Classes and Copy Groups for more information.
- The file meets the mode requirements defined in the backup copy
group. If the mode is modified, the file must have changed
since the last backup. If the mode is absolute, the file can
be backed up even if it has not changed. See Using Management Classes and Copy Groups for more information.
- The file meets the frequency requirements defined in the backup copy
group. The minimum number of days since the last backup must elapse
before a file is backed up. See Using Management Classes and Copy Groups for more information. (Frequency is ignored for
partial incrementals.)
The the server can also define include-exclude statements in the
include-exclude list. To view the contents of your include-exclude
list, use the query inclexcl command.
Attention: When you run an incremental backup, the client
also backs up all directory information. When you back up a file, the
directories in the path that contain the file are also backed up.
Directories and NDS container objects are counted in the number of objects
backed up.
There are three types of incremental backup: full
incremental, Incremental-By-Date, and
selective. You can use all types of backup to back up the
NDS. In addition, Tivoli Storage Manager saves trustee rights, file
attributes, name spaces, and associated name space information with the backup
versions of the files.
