[gpfsug-discuss] Mmbackup -- list files backed up by incremental run

Under FS mount dir or $MMBACKUP_RECORD_ROOT dir if you set, mmbackup
creates the following file that contains all backup candidate files.
      .mmbackupCfg/updatedFiles/.list*
As a default, mmbackup deletes the file  upon successful backup completion
but keeps all temporary files until next mmbackup invocation if DEBUGmmb
ackup=2 is set.

Hi,

I’m trying to find out which files have been selected to be backed up by a
run of (incremental) mmbackup.   Logging as high as “-L 5” listed all the
scanned files but gave no info about which ones have been sent to the
backup server.

Is there a way (anyway) to list the files selected by an incremental
mmbackup run?   Even using info from the SpecProtect server, if that’s
feasible.

Thanks,
