IC88694: APPLICATION CHANGES FOR THE HANDLING OF DIRECTORY RENAMES/ MOVES WHEN THOSE DIRECTORIES ARE NOT IN THE INCLUDE LIST.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• If a directory that is not in the include list is renamed, and
  that directory contains files that were previously backed up,
  the backups of those files remain under the original directory
  name.  Consider a configuration where only the *.doc extension
  is in the include list.  If a backup happens for MyFile.doc in
  a directory named DirectoryA, FastBack for Workstations/Tivoli
  CDP for Files backs up the file into its own copy of
  DirectoryA.  If DirectoryA is renamed to DirectoryB, FastBack
  will do nothing because MyFile.doc has not changed.  If the
  clients hard drive died after this and a full restore on a new
  hard drive is performed, MyFile.doc would not restore to
  DirectoryB as expected, but instead restore to DirectoryA.
  

Local fix

• Run an initial backup after moving the directory to force all
  the included files in the new location to be backed up.
  

Problem summary

• When a directory is moved or renamed into a loc
  ation that is in the include list the files within the directory
   are not backed up until the files are changed.
  

Problem conclusion

• This functionality has been changed in 6.3.1
  .2 or higher
  

Temporary fix
