Hi John -
When you did the backupset, did you check the log?
I have had in the past where not all the files would be backed up to the
backupset - due to a problem with the file on the tape or a problem with the
tape. For example, one time a tape that it was looking for was marked as
"unavailable," thus, it would not be able to get the files that were on the
tape.
Also, have you figured out a way to keep track automatically of the
backupsets, the tape it used, and the time when it needs to come back? - you
know, something like how DRM is set up?
Thanks.

I am not sure if it was clear in my original note but
ANE4955I (Session: 6894, Node: PORSD1) Total objects restored: 1,381,024
was the figure from the backup set restore.
If anyone has seen this sort of discrepancy or has any thoughts that explain
the
difference,
please let me know

Subject: Discrepancy between standard restore and restore backupset
Am I missing something obvious?
I am doing some comparison testing of backupset restores against standard
restores.
I understood that in both cases restore would only be of active files and
yet I
see with a standard
restore
ANE4955I (Session: 5106, Node: PORSD1) Total number of objects
restored: 2,238,710
ANE4955I (Session: 6894, Node: PORSD1) Total
objects restored: 1,381,024
There was a period of time between the two restores so I would not expect
them
to be identical, but
nothing like this discrepancy
My questions are :-
1) Anyone know why the large difference in the number of objects restored ?
2) If the lower number of objects is all the active files, then how do I
force
the traditional restore to
restore just the active files?
The server being restored was a netware box and it was being restored to
another
netware box
in both cases to an empty volume.
The commands used were
LOAD DSMC REST -SU=Y -REPL=N -TAPEP=N PORSD1\DATA:/
CONT_5500\DATA:/
load dsmc rest backupset -repl=n -su=y tstbck1.181377263 porsd1\data:
cont_5500\data:\
Thanks
