What is Journal Based Backup?



Protocol of changes to the filesystem

B-Tree Database on client side

Changes are logged to one database per filesystem

Configurable location, criteria, sizeg , ,

Designed for file systems with small or moderate amounts of change activity

Can reduce backup processing times significantlyCan reduce backup processing times significantly

Not intended to be a complete replacement for traditional incremental backups

Available on supported Windows and AIX platforms

Implementing one Journal Engine (A)



Some files locally, some files on shared disks

Cluster and all disk resources are running on one of the Cluster Nodes

Create directory on shared disk, e.g. Q:\TSM

Copy files from baclient directory to Q:\TSMpy ytsmjbbd.inidsm.opt

Adjust those two configuration files as shown in the following examplesAdjust those two configuration files as shown in the following examples…

Install one single Journal Engine to monitor all shared disk resources

1. Open DOS command prompt and change to your baclient directory

2. Install the Cluster Journal Service using dsmcutil command line tool:

dsmcutil install journal /name:"TSM Journal Service - CLUSTER" j/clientdir:"C:\TSM\baclient" /jbbconfigfile:"Q:\TSM\tsmjbbd.ini"/optfile:"Q:\TSM\dsm.opt" /node:"CLUSTER" /autostart:yes /startnow:yes

All files locally

Cluster is running on one, disk resources are running on any of the Cluster Nodes

Use your standard baclient directory for the required files when no local TSM node

Otherwise copy files from your baclient directory to e.g. C:\TSM\Journalpy y y gtsmjbbd.inidsm.opt

Journal Services need to be running on both Cluster Nodes

Both services monitor all filesystems

Config needs to be equal on both Cluster Nodes

Journal DB files are shared

Use DeferFSMonStart and DeferRetryInterval to notice failover

Do not create Generic Service Cluster Resource for Journal ServiceDo not create Generic Service Cluster Resource for Journal Service

What to consider?


What to consider?Multiple Journal Services supported with TSM 5.3.2.x and above

Do not monitor one filesystem with multiple Journal Services

Filesystem changes closely after a failover might be missedy g y g

Run full incrementals regularly, e.g. once a week

Each Jo rnal DB entr has appro 2600 b tes ( rong information in 5 3 Technical G ide)Each Journal DB entry has approx. 2600 bytes (wrong information in 5.3 Technical Guide)

JBB is only supported on local disks (and SAN attached disks showing up as local)

Binaries in standard baclient directory can be shared for multiple services

No more than approx. 400.000 changes / backup cycle

Try TESTFLAGS JNLINBNPTIMEOUT:<seconds> on comm. timeout problems

See JBB FAQ for more considerations
