File attribute N

Hello everyone,

I just finished a backup and my DVS files are with the attribute N

In VAC there is a critical error still saying that my files aren't backep up, by the backup job on Netbackup  was 100% fine

Any suggestions ?

Thanks!

    Well, if anyone is having the same problem, here is what I experienced:

    With the differential incremental backup the archive bit is cleared, BUT NOT ON THE FIRST TIME, if it is a new partition, run first a full backup, and then run differential incremental backups.

    This should solve

    Thanks everyone for the replies

    I'm having a similar issue right now. Attrib'ing the files to clear the archive bit and then manually settting/unsetting the backup mode on the vault stores should clear the savesets and start post processing. Just watch the size of your queues and adjust accordingly if it's not large enough. Also above i see the directives your backing up. are you also backing up your open/ready/closed partitions?

    You shouldn't be using the attrib commands as that is shotgunning the issue You need to find out why the backup software isn't removing the archive bit itself

    There is a query to execute on the DB that I can see if the archive bit is removed or not ?

    You can do something like SELECT TOP 100 RelativeFileName FROM WatchFile This should give you a list of physical paths and files that it's awaiting to scan, you when then have to browse to those files check the archive attribute there

    Ok I might have got the column name wrong just do a SELECT TOP 100 * FROM JournalArchive One of those columns will be the full path and DVS file name

    Invalid object name 'JournalArchive'.

     

    Anyways, I know where these are, the DVS are those on the printscreen that I sent on this topic, the attribute is N

    The attribute is A for ArchiveBit I promise you Also the query should be ran against the Vault Store database, so make sure you don't run it against the EnterpriseVaultDirectory database or master etc
