449.0. "question on skip within schedule policy" by MLNCSC::VOCI () Mon Mar 03 1997 02:47

    Hello,
    
    I've configured one group with two clients. The clients use the same
    pool and schedule policy.
    
    In the customize - Groups I've defined:
    
    	Autostar: Enable
    	Start time: 11:12
    
    The schedule has full backup on monday and skip on thuesday.
    If I enable the group on thuesday I see the following messages:
    
    Mon 11:12:02 savegroup info: starting group2 (with 2 clients)
    Mon 11:12:03 savegroup info:
    opale.mln.dec.com:/usr/var/nsr/index/opale.mln.dec.com no cycles found
    in media db; doing full save
    Mon 11:12:05 opale.mln.dec.com:/usr/var/nsr/index/opale.mln.dec.com
    saving to pool 'pool2' (label2.003)
    Mon 11:12:09 opale.mln.dec.com:/usr/var/nsr/index/opale.mln.dec.com
    done saving to pool 'pool2' (label2.003)
    Mon 11:12:14 opale.mln.dec.com:bootstrap saving to pool 'pool2'
    (label2.003)
    Mon 11:12:17 opale.mln.dec.com:bootstrap done saving to pool 'pool2'
    (label2.003)
    Mon 11:12:23 savegroup notice: group2 completed, 2 clients (All
    Succeeded)
    Mon 11:12:24 index notice: nsrim has finished checking the media db
    
    
    The directory isn't saved but the index is.
    
    I expected nsr to completely skip the backup without doing any
    activity.
    
    Thanks,
    Gea

    Any news on this?
    
    The customer is wondering if this will delay his backups since he has
    about 120 clients.
    
    Thanks,

449.4hmmm, next version does nothingDECWET::EVANSNSR EngineeringFri Mar 07 1997 11:0420
I created a "skip always" schedule, and applied it to my
 client, and did a group start-now for that 1 client.

Nothing happened.  This is using the next version of NetWorker.

With V4.2B, I get:
Fri 10:57:38 savegroup info: starting mrcofe (with 1 client)
Fri 10:57:39 savegroup notice: mrcofe completed, 1 client (All Succeeded)
Fri 10:57:41 index notice: nsrim has finished checking the media db

in the GUI, and in the savegroup completion I get:


--- Successful Save Sets ---

  mrcofe.zso.dec.com: All           level=skip,      0 KB 00:00:00      0 files
  mrcofe.zso.dec.com: /var/nsrCQ/index/mrcofe.zso.dec.com level=skip,0 KB
00:00:00      0 files

(all successful). Can you post your savegroup completion (part that applies?)

    You'll find my savegroup completition in the original note.
    I tested only the GUI interface.

449.6Was this the first time you saved the client?DECWET::GRAHAMMon Mar 10 1997 09:459
If you had not saved the client before, it may have ignored the 
save level because it didn't have anything in the client's index.
I know that if a level 1-9 save is specified in the schedule the 
first time a client is saved, a full will be forced.

You can further check this by doing a full savgroup of a new
client before specifying a skip in the schedule.
