STORE
ONLINE Online backup. The store fileset is attached to a log handler and the users
can concurrently read, write or purge files in the fileset after the files are
attached to the log environment. The files must not be open for write
before STORE is invoked, but write access is allowed as soon as the tape
mount request appears on the console. The following message indicating
completion of the attach phase is also sent to the system console:
FILES LOCKED BY ONLINE STORE ARE NOW FREE FOR
READ/WRITE/PURGE
See the NOTIFY option for an additional way to notify users that the attach
phase has completed.
START Specifies that a 7x24 true-online sync point should occur at the beginning
of the backup, before any files are stored. All files being stored do NOT
have to be closed for write access when the backup starts.
END Specifies that a 7x24 true-online sync point should occur at the end of the
backup, after all files are stored. All files being stored do NOT have to be
closed for write access at any time during the backup.
Specifying the option causes file log data to be written at the end of the
backup. This media format is NOT backwards compatible, and media
created with ONLINE=END CANNOT be verfied or restored on a pre-5.5
system.
time Specifies when the true-online sync point should occur, in in 24-hour
format, as HH:MM:SS.
The time must be specified with either START or END. If specified with
START, the sync point will occur at the time specified, or after all of the
files being stored are attached to shadow log files, whichever happens last.
If specified with END, the sync point will occur at the time specified, or once
all files have been stored, whichever happens last.
If the time specified is before the time the backup is started, then STORE
will wait until that time the following day. This is helpful if you start the
backup at 11:00 PM and want the sync point to occur at 2:00 AM the next
morning.
ASK When specified, will cause TurboSTORE to pause with an operator request
before the true-online sync point. If you reply "N" to this request, you will
be given the option of aborting the backup or continuing to wait.
After you reply to the console request, the sync point will occur.
This option can be specified with time, and must be specified with either
START or END.
volumesetname The name of the volume set where the shadow log files should reside,
which must be a valid, currently mounted volume set.
