STORE Options
NOTE This information in this file is also used to determine if a file being restored
has after image log data. A file will have after image log data if it was
modified before the sync point during a 7x24 true-online backup. RESTORE
must have this information before restoring files, so when creating a 7x24
true-online backup with the sync point at the end of the backup, the
STOREDIR option is automatically enabled. See Chapters 7 and 11 for more
information on creating and restoring 7x24 true-online backups.
The filename used by STORE uniquely identifies the file and associates it with a specific
backup. The file is placed in the store_dirs HFS directory in the HPSTORE.SYS group.
WARNING The HPSTORE group and store_dirs directory do NOT exist on the
system by default. You must create them, and set up the appropriate
security before using the STOREDIR option. STORE will NOT print a
warning if it cannot create the file because the path does not exist.
See the following paragraphs for information on creating and
maintaining the HPSTORE group and store_dirs directory.
The following naming convention is used:
store_yyyymmdd_hhmmsstt_pin##_day
For example:
/SYS/HPSTORE/store_dirs/store_19940622_13300314_pin30_wed
This name contains the date and time of the backup and the pin of the STORE process.
This naming convention allows a LISTFILE,2 to show a chronological list of STORE
directory files.
You should not rename or purge STORE directory files that you plan on using, since
RESTORE looks for a specifically named file. However, if the file does not exist, all files can
still be restored from the backup. The size of the directory file is directly proportional to
the number of files stored in the backup. You can control how much disk space is used for
these directory files by putting a disk file limit on HPSTORE.SYS.
The following example limits the space used by the HPSTORE group to 4000 sectors:
:ALTGROUP HPSTORE.SYS;FILES=4000
You can have STORE associate a shorter, more meaningful name to the disk directory files
by specifying an optional filename argument to STOREDIR. You can specify an MPE or HFS
filename. STORE then creates a symbolic link with the specified name, which points to the
original disk file.
For example, to create a full backup on Friday and give it the name FRIFULL, issue the
command:
:STORE /;*tape;STOREDIRECTORY=FRIFULL.HPSTORE.SYS
To create a partial backup of all files that were modified since May 4, 1994, and create a
disk directory filename, WedPartial, in the current working directory, issue the command:
:STORE /;*tape;STOREDIR=./WedPartial;DATE>=5/4/94
