Directories That Do Not Have the Directory Bit Set
Directories that do not have the directory bit set are saved as a regular file. In order for
a file to be directory, it must meet two conditions: have a ".DIR;1" type and version and
the directory bit must be set. If either of these two conditions are not met NetWorker
saves the file as a regular file. NetWorker does not save any files that might be in the
directory. You reset the directory bit by use the SET FILE/NODIRECTORY command.
In the NWRECOVER and NWARCHIVE GUI, a file with the directory bit reset is
displayed as a regular file. However, the ".DIR;1" is not displayed even though it is
displayed as a regular file.
Files That Have the Directory Bit Set
Files that have the directory bit set are saved and can be recovered. However,
NetWorker issues a warning: “size grew during save”. The file did not grow and is
recovered exactly as it was saved. The warning is there because of the logic that
calculates the size of the file thinks it is a directory and it is not.
A variation of a file with a directory bit set is a directory that has a version other than
“;1”. For example: FRED.DIR;2. The file system does not recognize this as a directory.
NetWorker treats it as a file with the directory bit set. You can create this file by editing
a directory.
Directories that have no Name
Directories that have no name are saved as a regular file by NetWorker, but cannot be
recovered. A directory that has no name would be displayed as ".DIR;1" when doing a
directory of a directory.
ODS-5 Volume Restrictions
There are certain restrictions with ODS-5 volumes. Different versions of OpenVMS
may behave differently. Also, how you have the process parse_style and case_lookup
affects what files will be saved and which ones will be recovered. You may want to
revaluate whether you want or need an ODS-5 volume.
Important: All of the restriction listed below have the process parse_style set to
extended. If you have the process parse_style set to traditional, you cannot ever access
files that are not all upper case characters.
The following sections describes these restrictions:
• "Directories That Do Not Have a Type of “.DIR;1“" on page 23
• "Directories With the Same Name But Different Case" on page 23
