RE: DR-1 Files Locked

You should be able to do an ENDTCPSVR *DIRECTOR before the backup and a
STRTCPSVR *DIRECTOR after the backup. If that doesn't work try QSH
CMD('/QIBM/ProdData/Director/bin/twgstop') before and QSH
CMD('/QIBM/ProdData/Director/bin/twgstart') after.

Subject: DR-1 Files Locked

I have a client running a couple of iSCSI attached servers. During the
nightly backup we are getting several locks on IFS files in
/QIBM/UserData/Director/data/ /QIBM/UserData/Director/data/configmgr/db/
/QIBM/UserData/Director/log/

Now I really normally don't care about backing up anything in a 'log'
folder, but what about these other folders? Are these files static and
getting them on a full system save good enough or ??

They are only using director to support the iSCSI. The actual storage
spaces are being saved using a current Windows based package handling
their other wintel servers.

Thanks
