RE: Not backing up directory /tmp

["Ingvaldson, Scott" <SIngvaldson@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

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.
