=head1 NAME
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
bdb.DB0 and bdb.DBSYS1 - Contain the Backup Database and associated log
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
=head1 DESCRIPTION
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The bdb.DB0 file contains the Backup Database, which
|
||
|
|
records configuration information used by the AFS Backup System along with
|
||
|
|
cross-indexed records of the tapes created and volumes dumped using the Backup
|
||
|
|
System commands.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The bdb.DBSYS1 file is a log file in which the Backup
|
||
|
|
Server (B<buserver> process) logs each database operation before
|
||
|
|
performing it. When an operation is interrupted, the Backup Server
|
||
|
|
replays the log to complete the operation.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Both files are in binary format and reside in the /usr/afs/db
|
||
|
|
directory on each database server machine that runs the Backup Server.
|
||
|
|
When the Backup Server starts or restarts on a given machine, it establishes a
|
||
|
|
connection with its peers and verifies that its copy of the
|
||
|
|
B<bdb.DB0> file matches the copy on the other database server
|
||
|
|
machines. If not, the Backup Servers use AFS's distributed
|
||
|
|
database technology, Ubik, to distribute to all of the machines the copy of
|
||
|
|
the database with the highest version number.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Use the commands in the backup suite to administer the Backup
|
||
|
|
Database. It is advisable to create a backup copy of the
|
||
|
|
B<bdb.DB0> file on tape on a regular basis, using the UNIX
|
||
|
|
B<tar> command or another local disk backup utility.
