This method backs up the archive files that are output for the purpose of conducting daily backups.
Storage Location
By default, the archive files are stored in the directory below (refer to Section 6.6.1.2, "Changing the Archive File Location" in the Installation Guide for information on how to change it):
[Windows]
Variable file directory\spool\BackupPDBinsert |
[UNIX]
/var/opt/FJSVssqc/BackupPDBinsert |
The following file is output to the above directory.
pdbinsert_%SYSTEM%_%N%.txt |
%SYSTEM%: System name
%N%: File number
A new archive file is created every 24 hours, or whenever the DCM service/daemon is executed. Note that file numbers (represented by %N%) increment cyclically between 1 and 3. This makes it possible to archive information for up to three days.
Backup
Backup the files above.
Restore
To restore an archive file, change the file extension from "txt" to "tmp" and then copy the file to the following directory:
[Windows]
Variable file directory\transfer\DsaPDBWriter |
[UNIX]
/var/opt/FJSVssqc/temp/DsaPDBWriter |
Note
When archive files are restored, they are written to the PDB as a single transaction. At this time, the performance database is locked and no performance information other than the archive files can be written to or read from the performance database. For this reason, when restoring archive files, they should be divided up and stored as multiple individual files.
