Directories That Do Not Have a Type of “.DIR;1“
Directories that do not have a type of “.DIR;1” are not supported by NetWorker or by
the file system. For example: all_lower_case.dir;1 is NOT supported. However,
all_lower_case.DIR;1 is supported. For ease of explanation in this section I will call any
directory with type of “.dir;1” or any permeation of dir as an invalid directory. You can
create an invalid directory that has a type other than “.DIR;1” by using the RENAME
or SET FILE/ENTRY OpenVMS utilities. You can check to see if any of your directories
have been renamed using some variation of the following command:
$ pipe directory disk$i64v821:[000000...]*.*;* | -
_$ search sys$input ".dir;1",".Dir;1",".dIr;1"/exact
Even though the file system does not support invalid directories, NetWorker saves
these invalid directories and contents. However, there are certain restrictions that you
must follow:
• By default when you schedule a group save from the server, you will save any
invalid directories and their contents.
• If you do a NSRSAVE or NSRARCHIVE command from the DCL prompt, you
must have your process case_lookup set to blind to backup invalid directories.
• If you are using NWBACKUP or NWARCHIVE, you must start them from a
process that case_lookup is set to blind to save invalid directories.
Even though the file system does not support invalid directories, NetWorker can
recover invalid directories and their contents. The recovered directory will have a
“.DIR;1” type which is supported by NetWorker and the file system.
Directories With the Same Name But Different Case
Having directories with the same name but different case will not be recovered
correctly unless you have your process setting for case_lookup set to sensitive. Setting
your process case_lookup to sensitive pertains to: NSRRECOVER, NSRRETRIEVE,
NWRECOVER, and NWRETRIEVE. This is not a restriction of NetWorker, but of the
file system. For example: you have Mixed_Case.DIR;1 and mIXED_cASE.DIR;1 in the
same directory. If the case_lookup is set to blind, on a recover the first directory is
created and when it tries to create the second one, the recover will receive a directory
already exists from the file system. To restore these directories, you must have the
process case_lookup set to sensitive.
Important: Do not create two directories with the same name but with “.dir;1“ and
“DIR;1“ types. For example: DISK$TMP:[TEST]fred.dir;1 and
DISK$TMP:[TEST]fred.DIR;1. When you do the following command your process will
loop:
$ set process/case_lookup=blind
$ directory DISK$TMP:[TEST...]*.*;*
