Backing Up Checkpoints
When a tape backup begins, it creates a checkpoint named backup. The
information in the checkpoint backup is backed up to tape. If a checkpoint
named backup already exists, that checkpoint is backed up instead.
Keep in mind:
n If the disk you are backing up is almost full, the attempt to create a
backup checkpoint fails.
n If the backup completes successfully, the backup checkpoint is
deleted.
n If the backup fails, the backup checkpoint is renamed
backup.failed and is not deleted.
Note To control when data is frozen before being written to tape, you can
rename any checkpoint (including backup.failed) to backup. Keep in
mind that the renamed checkpoint is deleted when the backup completes.
