Re: Problems with backups when running WAS 3.0.2

Not sure if this will help, but have you read through the Save and Restore
considerations in the 3.02 documentation (take links
Administration->Managing WebSphere Application Server->Save and Restore
WebSphere Application Server)?  It provides some recommendations on what to
backup. I am pretty sure the logs directory of your WebSphere instance is
not included - in general I would recommend against saving the logs
directory.

Subject:  Problems with backups when running WAS 3.0.2



Does anyone have any advice on the attached? I am thinking particularly of
any standard excludes that people are putting on their SAV commands.

Thanks

We are finding that some of the files used by WebSphere are in use and thus
preventing our daily and weekly backups from completing normally. The
files are as follows:

/QIBM/UserData/WebASAdv/default/logs/UKELCBP604FL.104_native.log.was-oop.Tu
e-Dec
-19-16.32.55-2000

/QIBM/UserData/WebASAdv/default/logs/adminserver_native.log.was-oop.Tue-Dec
-19-1
6.01.27-2000

/QIBM/UserData/WebASAdv/default/logs/default_server_native.log.was-oop.Tue-
Dec-1
9-16.03.34-2000

The easiest way to prevent a problem is to shutdown WebSphere during the
backups; however, this could present a problem with availability of the
application at some future date.
