RE: Not backing up directory /tmp

This is the situation.
I bring down Domino.  I save several directories.  /tmp is not one of 
them.  I restart Domino.  I then backup other libraries and more ifs 
directories, including /tmp.  First thought was to save /tmp at the same 
time as I save Domino.  And, yes, that would stop the Domino conflicts I 
am experiencing.  But, what about other problems I am just not aware of 
yet?

Some of the files in that directory seem related to email attachments for 
SNDEMAIL.  I am looking at following Davids advice and clearing out the 
directory after doing our big save.  I am concerned that it may wreak 
havoc with some 'stuck' email.

RE: Not backing up directory /tmp






That shouldn't really be a problem, assuming that if /tmp is being used
'correctly' it shouldn't contain data needed for a restore.

I looked in ours and found BRMS flight recorders, MQ Series sockets, some
Domino objects and a couple empty log files I couldn't identify. 
(QZDFMSVR)

We backup the IFS using BRMS and Save-While-Active.  Currently we drop the
Management Central server, Apache HTTP servers, MQ series, Domino and 
FAX400
before the backup and I have never seen objects in /tmp locked.  What jobs
are causing you grief?

Anyone see an issue with only backing up directory /tmp, in the ifs, only 
every 8 weeks when doing a dedicated save?

Evidently there are numerous IBM jobs that access that directory and it 
causes them a wee bit of grief when it is locked.  Even if I do SAVACT, 
there would be a lock potential, I believe.
