TurboSTORE/iX 7x24 True-Online Backup
Logging File Attribute Modifications
Logging File Attribute Modifications
In addition to keeping track of changes to a file's data during a 7x24 true-online backup,
changes to a file's attributes, such as filename, file limit, and file code, are also captured to
ensure a consistent backup.
File Creations and Purges
When the sync point is at the end of the backup, file creations and file purges that occur
during the backup are captured by shadow logging. TurboSTORE/iX 7x24 True-Online
Backup also handles equivalent POSIX commands for purging files, such as UNLINK(),
FUNLINK(), and other MPE/iX commands that purge files, like PURGEACCT and
PURGEGROUP.
Other File Attributes
If RENAMEing a file causes it to qualify for a 7x24 true-online backup, the file is included in
the backup. Conversely, if a file is renamed to not qualify for a 7x24 true-online backup's
fileset list, it is removed from the backup. These actions only happen if the sync point is at
the end of the backup.
