Incremental backup for single filesystem to enable Journal Backup

Question & Answer


Question

How to target incremental backup for single filesystem to enable the journal? The backup of: "dsmc Inc -subdir=yes /xyz/" did not create the expected Journal DB and enabled the next backup to be a Journal Backup.

Cause

The syntax is incorrect.

Answer

To enable journal backup after a targeted incremental for one filespace, do the following client backup.

Example:

dsmc Inc -subdir=yes /xyz

You will then see the message stating the journal will be activated after this backup is completed:

ANS1761I Journal for '/xyz' will be enabled upon successful completion of the backup.
