You don't say if you've followed Andy's recommendation to review the incrbydate rules relative to the files involved. Under the topic "Full and partial incremental backup" in the client manual you'll see the full set of criteria for determining if a file should be backed up in an ordinary incremental, as well as directory backup rules. The key criterion here for files is "Date or time of last modification". It is possible for files to be planted in a file system with an old date, or have their datestamp set back, depending upon the file system and operating system. Inspect the attributes of some of the files involved to see what the situation is. Richard Simshttp://people.bu.edu/rbs/

Re: TSM Image backup -incremental issue
Check your include-exclude list to make sure that the directories or files are not being excluded. Use "dsmc query inclexcl" to see the include-exclude list. See the client manual (or use "dsmc help") for information about the "incrbydate" option, which is what -mode=incremental uses. There are a number of possible reasons that files can be skipped by this form of incremental backup processing.

TSM Image backup -incremental issue
I am doing monthly Image backup of a file-system with millions of small files .New file changes in the directory are in the range of 90,000 files per day .Daily i run Image incremental backups on this drive . dsmc backup image e: -mode=incremental Image full backups work fine .ButI noticed a major issue in image incrementals .. It never backups any new files in interior directories structures... eg: If we create some new files in the path e:\output\ABC\ ,they never get backed up using image incremental . But if files get created in e:\ or in e:\output , they are being considered in image incremental backups Am i missing any option in my Image incremental backup or something ? Has anyone faced some issue like this ? [Rolling Eyes] +-- |This was sent by gibi...@gmail.com via Backup Central. |Forward SPAM to ab...@backupcentral.com. +--
