Frequency Schedule query

Marianne,
What is the ctime attached to the image name?

# bpdbm -ctime xxxxxxxxxx


.

bpsched used to assign the backupid as the backup was queued. Now nbjm assigns it the moment resouces become available and the job goes active.

So the backup time in the image would reflect the "Active start" time.

Luc.

# bpimagelist -idonly -client mvdberg
Time: Thu Oct 29 11:23:14 2009   ID: mvdberg_1256808194   UBAK (2)

 # bpdbm -ctime 1256808194
1256808194 = Thu Oct 29 11:23:14 2009
 

= Active Start

Luc_H,
Yes, I believe you are correct as of NetBackup 6.5.
Another thing that has changed since 6.5, (I've been told but have not tested) is that manual backups no longer effect frequency.

Marianne, while your testing can you also test to see if manually initiated backups no longer effect frequency in 6.5?

Hi Bob
I did a user backup today as a test. Unfortunately I do not have regular schedules in my little lab.
From experience (supporting many end customers), manual backups still affect frequency based schedules.
The main question remains: has enough time elapsed since the last backup for this schedule?
