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

[Popescu, Razvan]

Hi Rafael,

This looks awesomely promising,  but I can’t find the info your refer here.
My SCHEDLOGNAME points to   /root/dsmsched.log     but  there is no file by that name in /root.     I have the error and instrumentation logs (dsmerror.log and dsminstr.log)  per their options, but not the scheduler.

Could it be because I don’t run mmbackup via the TSM scheduler ?!   (I run it as a cronjob, inside a little wrapper that takes care of preparing/deleting a snapshot for it).    Must I run the scheduler to log the activity of the client?

Thanks,

Razvan

Hello,

Its possible.
From the server schedule do you get the log configuration:

# dsmc query options

For example:
SCHEDLOGNAME: /var/log/tsm/dsmsched.log

# mmbackup /FS -t incremental -N Server --backup-threads 12 -v -L 6 --tsm-servers server --scope filesystem

After that, do you check your log file /var/log/tsm/dsmsched.log:
01/09/20   00:51:45 Retry # 2  Normal File-->         1,356,789 /File/agent.log [Sent]
01/09/20   00:51:45 Retry # 1  Normal File-->         5,120,062 /File/agent.log.1 [Sent]
01/09/20   00:51:46 Successful incremental backup of '/File'

Regards,
Rafael

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,
