You're only using a .0.0 version? Upgrade it.
Use the cli if the gui gives you problems. There is help on how to do it under "dsmc help". |
I
tried a lot, but still can't find any "lost" file! does it have any
connection with my GUI client, because it has something wrong
look at this: |
with this magic command "dsmc restore f:\INT\3.2D\OC1\3P82024721H.jpg -pick -inactive"
I got one of my "lost" file, thank you again! now, how can I get the whole folder F:\INT, I use GUI, but the "Point in time" confuse me, and I can't find my lost files!! C:\Program Files\Tivoli\TSM\baclient>dsmc restore f:\INT\3.2D\OC1\3P82024721H.jpg -pick -inactive ** Interrupted ** ANS1114I Waiting for mount of offline media.

thank you very much,
I use GUI, and I don't know how to set the "Point in time" option I tried a lot, but can't find anything! |
start
the tsm client gui and in the view section choose display
active/inactive files, and than go to your folder and check your
files...
|
Are you using gui or cli? There is a manual for both of them you could read it.
Briefly, if you want to restore it with cli run dsmc restore f:\INT\3.2D\OC1\3P82024721H.jpg -pick -inactive Or you can use wildcards and use the pitdate/pittime parameters (check the documentation for syntax). If you set the pitdate&time to just after the files were backed up this will restore them. |
with your new command, I can find something like this,
25,899 B 03/02/2008 09:38:57 DEFAULT I \\kabmnt1\f$\INT\3.2D\OC1\3P82024721H.jpg my question is how can I restore this file "3P82024721H.jpg" (sorry, I am a green hand on TSM, I mean what time should I set to restore this file) and this file come out in dsmsched.log, look at this: 03/02/2008 09:38:46 Normal File--> 25,899 \\kabmnt1\f$\INT\3.2D\OC1\3P82024721H.jpg [Sent] and also 03/02/2008 11:48:08 Expiring--> 25,899 \\kabmnt1\f$\INT\3.2D\OC1\3P82024721H.jpg [Sent] I think now we will find the truth, thanks! |
Sorry my mistake, add the -inactive flag :(
dsmc q backup f:\INT\ -subdir=yes -inactive |
thanks a lot!
I use "dsmc q backup f:\INT\ -subdir=yes" but I can just find files after the 2nd Mar. 11:00PM but I find this, Size Backup Date Mgmt Class A/I File ---- ----------- ---------- --- ---- 0 B 03/03/2008 23:39:02 STANDARD A \\kabmnt1\f$\INT\3.3D 0 B 03/03/2008 21:37:43 STANDARD A \\kabmnt1\f$\INT\3.3N 4,146 B 03/05/2008 19:44:28 DEFAULT A \\kabmnt1\f$\INT\12345.txt 2,148 B 03/05/2008 11:49:47 DEFAULT A \\kabmnt1\f$\INT\5.txt 2,671,6 B 03/06/2008 11:37:28 DEFAULT A \\kabmnt1\f$\INT\Book2.xls 2 B 03/04/2008 15:45:10 DEFAULT A \\kabmnt1\f$\INT\EXCEL.csv 0 B 03/05/2008 03:42:34 STANDARD A \\kabmnt1\f$\INT\3.3D\3.3QRA for folders the mgmt class is standard for files the mgmt class is default any problem? about this policy domain config: Policy Domain Name Policy Set Name Mgmt Class Name Default Mgmt Class? PROD_WIN_DOMAIN ACTIVE STANDARD Yes PROD_WIN_DOMAIN STANDARD STANDARD Yes I am sure nobody can recreate all the files and folders under F:\INT |
No
it would apply on a per file basis not for the entire directory tree.
So any individual files that were recreated were probably lost 6 hours
later. Are you really sure this happened though? Use the sql query
above, or "dsmc q backup f:\INT\ -subdir=yes" to check.
|
if there are three folders in F:\INT, and each has their own files and folders
F:\INT\tom F:\INT\tom\* F:\INT\jimmy F:\INT\jimmy\* F:\INT\kevin F:\INT\kevin\*\* now someone delete the "INT" folder, and we keep only one verion for 10 days and after some time someone recreate the folder "INT" then after servel hours our last version been deleted because we just keep 3 version exist the problem is this "someone" just create the folder "INT" and then our last version of backup expired? so we lost our data... |
The
"expired" statement in dsmsched.log just means the client is telling
the TSM server to make them "inactive", its a bit of a confusing
message. Once inactive they are processed against the retention policy
you have setup, which is 1 version of deleted files which means you
should still have the very last copy of that file.
If somebody recreated the file and then it was backed up again 3 times - that old copy might then be lost due to your verexists limit. If you want to double check if the files still exist run this from the admin command line: select * from backups where node_name='YOURNODENAMEINALLCAPS' and filespace_name='\\kabmnt1\d$' and hl_name='\INT\' (be careful with your capitalisation (keep it as above) and the \'s) |
no one knows what cause the files lost
we suspect the files under F:\INT deleted by somebody, but we can't find any proof the files were recreate on 3rd, I think maybe TSM delete all the files, can it possible? look at this, dsmsched.log 03/02/2008 11:48:08 Expiring--> 37,087 [Sent] 03/02/2008 11:48:08 Expiring--> 19,970 [Sent] 03/02/2008 11:48:08 Expiring--> 26,965 [Sent] "2.29N" is a folder create on 29th Feb. "N" means "night" even the files create on 2nd Mar. have lost strange 03/02/2008 11:48:08 Expiring--> 0 [Sent] 03/02/2008 11:48:08 Expiring--> 0 DB1 [Sent] 03/02/2008 11:48:08 Expiring--> 0 DB3 [Sent] all the files and folders under F:\INT have expired |
Were
the files "lost" on the 2nd by them being completely deleted from the
client? Were the files recreated between then and the 3rd before you
tried to restore them?
|
thank you very much, I understand now
it is true that we change the files under F:\INT regularly but there is still a problem 2008.3.3 user tell me the files under F:\INT are all lost they find out this on 2008.3.2 2:00PM I tried to restore the lost files from TSM on 2008.3.3 but I couldn't my problem is with Versions Data Deleted 1 & Retain Only Version 10 why can't I restore the lost files |
You're
backing it up every 2 hours. With retver set to 3, this means you can
only restore to 6 hours ago if the file is changing regularly (3
versions x 2 hours).
|
there is no error, just can't find files 4 hours ago in a special folder!
I have lots of folders in F: and can not find files in F:\INT 4 hours ago, other folders is ok and the dsm.opt file is all right! now, I lost all files in F:\INT, but I can't restore them, because it happens for more than 10 hours before I started to restore them from TSM |
what's the error say?
|
TSM can not restore a special folder
I backup my windows 2003 server F:\ incremental full backup every 2 hours
policy Versions Data Exists 3 Versions Data Deleted 1 Retain Extra Versions 10 Retain Only Version 10 and now I can not restore files in "F:\INT" one day ago other folder is ok what's wrong, who can help me, thanks |
