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.
