Backing Up Checkpoints
When a tape backup begins, it creates a checkpoint named
backup
. The
information in the checkpoint
backup
is backed up to tape. If a checkpoint
named
backup
already exists, that checkpoint is backed up instead.
Keep in mind:
n
If the disk you are backing up is almost full, the attempt to create a
backup checkpoint fails.
n
If the backup completes successfully, the
backup
checkpoint is
deleted.
n
If the backup fails, the
backup
checkpoint is renamed
backup.failed
and is not deleted.
Note
To control when data is frozen before being written to tape, you can
rename any checkpoint (including
backup.failed
) to backup. Keep in
mind that the renamed checkpoint is deleted when the backup completes.
