Hi,
we are doing image backup of raw devices every day directly to tapes.
The copygroup settings, to which are bound these backups are:
Policy Domain Name: HPUX-MTEL
Policy Set Name: HPUX-MTEL
Mgmt Class Name: LEAPT
Copy Group Name: STANDARD
Copy Group Type: Backup
Versions Data Exists: 5
Versions Data Deleted: 1
Retain Extra Versions: 15
Retain Only Version: 30
Copy Mode: Absolute
Copy Serialization: Shared Static
Copy Frequency: 0
Copy Destination: LEAPT-LTO
ast Update by (administrator): MILIEVA
Last Update Date/Time: 06/04/2003 10:56:51
Every backup goes in parallel to 2 tapes, which we make readonly after that by some
reasons, so normally when expiration occurs the oldest 2 tapes goes to scratch.
But one backup didn't completed successfully, so only half of the raw devices were
backuped.
As I knew that there were no changes on the client, I deleted the volumes with the
broken backup and started a new one.
After that day, we have a 2 tapes, that have some data expired on them:
T00005 LEAPT-LTO L700-LTO1 290,071.6 73.8 Filling
T00006 LEAPT-LTO L700-LTO1 288,035.2 100.0 Filling
T00010 LEAPT-LTO L700-LTO1 288,051.2 29.2 Filling
T00019 LEAPT-LTO L700-LTO1 290,087.6 100.0 Filling

T00030 LEAPT-LTO L700-LTO1 287,219.1 100.0 Filling
T00035 LEAPT-LTO L700-LTO1 290,903.7 100.0 Filling

T00092 LEAPT-LTO L700-LTO1 288,151.4 100.0 Filling
T00093 LEAPT-LTO L700-LTO1 289,971.4 100.0 Filling
A select on contents table for that node shows me that there are 4 versions for the
raw devices belonging to the broken backup, and 5 for the others.
But there are 4 successfull backups for that node since then. I expected on the next
backup to have 5 versions for all raw devices, but it continues keeping different
versions of different data bound to one management class!
And I'm sure that all data from that node go exactly to that management class.
What do you think - is this a normal behaviour??
