Query Group
Use the query group command to display information about a group backup and its members.
Note:
- Use the showmembers option to display and select individual group members that you want to query. The showmembers option is not valid with the inactive option. If you want to display members of a group that are not currently active, use the pitdate and pittime options to specify the backup date and time of the member you want to query.
- Use the query filespace command to display virtual file space names for your node that are stored on the Tivoli® Storage Manager server.
- If you perform a full and differential group backup, a query of
this group using the -inactive option displays two
active backups of the same name, one of type FULL and one of type
DIFF.
These backups inactivate any previous full and differential backups:
tsm> q group {\fs}\v1 -inactive Size Backup Date Mgmt Class A/I Group —––– ––––––––––– –––––––––– ––– –––––– 978 B 06/02/2007 11:57:04 DEFAULT A FULL \fs\v1 32 B 06/05/2007 13:52:04 DEFAULT A DIFF \fs\v1
tsm> q group {/fs}/v1 -inactive Size Backup Date Mgmt Class A/I Group —––– ––––––––––– –––––––––– ––– –––––– 978 B 06/02/2007 11:57:04 DEFAULT A FULL /fs/v1 32 B 06/05/2007 13:52:04 DEFAULT A DIFF /fs/v1
If you query a group backup without the -inactive option, the query displays only the latest group backup, whether it is type FULL or type DIFF:
tsm> q group {\fs}\v1 Size Backup Date Mgmt Class A/I Group —––– ––––––––––– –––––––––– ––– –––––– 32 B 06/05/2007 13:52:04 DEFAULT A DIFF \fs\v1
tsm> q group {/fs}/v1 Size Backup Date Mgmt Class A/I Group —––– ––––––––––– –––––––––– ––– –––––– 32 B 06/05/2007 13:52:04 DEFAULT A DIFF /fs/v1
