2189.0. "Incr restore problem with savesets on same tape" by STKHLM::JOHANSSON (Anders Johansson/Stockholm) Fri Jan 31 1997 09:03

    Hi SLS folks.
    
    I don't know too much about SLS, but a one of my customers tells me
    that SLS isn't smart enough to handle a incremental restore when all
    the incremental savesets are on the same tape.
    
    According to him this problem happens because SLS tries to find the
    second last saveset after the last one, when restoring the incremental
    backups in reverse order.
    
    If he's correct, how can we get around thie?

2189.1Avoiding duplicate saveset names may helpKIDVAX::DESOURDISMon Feb 03 1997 09:0412
    We also have to deal with at least the possibility of duplicate
    savesets on the same tape, and have at least minimized the potential
    problem by using the date and time of backup to create unique saveset 
    names in the *SBK.COM files...
    
    $ sbkstart = F$CVTIM(,,"MONTH") + F$CVTIM(,,"DAY") + F$CVTIM(,,"HOUR")
    $ SAVESET_GEN    :== "DO_DISK + "".''sbkstart'"""
    
    This might be worth a try -
