542.0. "backup creation date" by MDR01::NIEVES (MCS Madrid) Mon Apr 28 1997 12:24

    Hi,
    
    after the execution of both image backup and incremental backups
    with VMS 6.2, the customer checks doing dir/full, that some of the save 
    sets have creation date and others don't. He thinks this is very
    strange and asks why are there some save sets with no creation date.
    
    This is part of the dir/full:
    
    APLICACIONES_COM.BCK 		File id: (93,5,0)
    Size:	4183515/4183517  Owner: [1,1]
    Created:	<None specified>
    Revised:	27-APR-1997 04:48:45.71 (2)
    Expires:	<None specified>
    Backup:	<No backup recorded>
    Effective:  <None specified>
    Recording:  <None specified>
    File organization: 	Sequential
    File attributes:	Allocation: 4183517, Extend:0 , Global buffer

    He executes two types of backup, image and incremental, from a batch
    procedure, and the save set is created on another disk, not a tape.
    The backup command is more or less:
    
    image:
    
    $ BACKUP/IMAGE/VERIFY/RECORD/IGNO=INTERLOCK/LIST='MI_DIR'IMA.LIS 
    _$ APLICACIONES: BACKUPS:[BCK]APLICACIONES_COM.BCK/SAV
    
    
    incremental:
    
    $
    BACKUP/SINCE=BACKUP/VERIFY/RECORD/IGNORE=INTERLOCK/LIST='MI_DIR'INC.LIS
    APLICACIONES:[000000...] BACKUPS:[BCK]APLICACIONES_INC.BCK/SAV
    
    
    Thanks in advance,
    
    Nieves
