We run a script on all our nodes that checks to see if they are the cluster manager.<br>
If they are, then they take responsibility to start the backup script.<br>
The script then randomly selects one of the available backup nodes and uses dsmsh mmbackup on it.<br>
<br>
Where does this command belong?<br>
I have seen it listed as a export command, again where should that be run – on all backup nodes, or all nodes?<br>

<p><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Hi Paul,<br>
<br>
If you run mmbackup with "DEBUGmmbackup=2", it keeps all working files even after successful backup. They are available at
</span><b>MMBACKUP_RECORD_ROOT</b><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"> (default is FSroot or FilesetRoot directory).
<br>
In .mmbackupCfg directory, there are 3 directories:</span><br>
updatedFiles : contains a file that lists all candidates for backup<br>
statechFiles : cantains a file that lists all candidates for meta info update<br>
expiredFiles : cantains a file that lists all candidates for expiration<br>

Hi, I am trying to work out what files have been sent to backup using mmbackup. I have increased the -L value from 3 up to 6 but only seem to see the files that are in scope, not the ones that are selected. I can see the three file lists generated ZjQcmQRYFpfptBannerStart</span> <b><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"><br>

Hi,<br>
<br>
I am trying to work out what files have been sent to backup using mmbackup.<br>
I have increased the -L value from 3 up to 6 but only seem to see the files that are in scope, not the ones that are selected.<br>
<br>
I can see the three file lists generated during a backup, but can’t seem to find a list of what files were backed up.<br>
<br>
It should be the diff of the shadow and shadow-old, but the wc -l of the diff doesn’t match the number of files in the backup summary.<br>
Wrong assumption?<br>
<br>
Where should I be looking – surely it shouldn’t be this hard to see what files are selected?<br>
<br>
<br>
Kindest regards,<br>
Paul<br>
