Nojournal

Use the nojournal option with the incremental command to specify that you want to perform a traditional full incremental backup, instead of the default journal-based backup.

Journal-based incremental backup differs from the traditional full incremental backup in the following ways:

  • Tivoli® Storage Manager does not enforce non-default copy frequencies (other than 0).
  • Attribute changes to an object require a backup of the entire object.

For these reasons, you might want to use the nojournal option periodically to perform a traditional full incremental backup.

Supported Clients

This option is valid for all Windows clients. The Tivoli Storage Manager client API does not support this option.
