Re: BRMS sometimes saves entire IFS

Yes from what read. I think that the tape where you save *LINK fully, expires earlier than 7 days and BRMS detects this and forces full save of *LINK. Check your media policy, or is something is manually expiring the tape.

Yes. The control group has "IIIIIFI" in the weekly activity parameter,
so is intended to only do a full save on Saturday. As to expiration
dates, we're starting to get into areas where I don't know a lot.
Looking at the tapes in the Work With Media display, it looks like they
expire in two months, but there's a lot in that display that isn't
intuitive to me.

It seem that you're implying, though, that the expiration date on a tape
could affect whether the *LINK save is incremental or full. That's a
lot to wrap my head around.

Hi Joe,

Do you use the same control group when you do the incremental and when the full save happens unexpectedly?
How many days do you keep the tape with the full *LINK before it expires?
