Backup and Restore Jobs (BRJOBS) File
BRJOBS is an Enscribe key-sequenced file that stores information about each backup
or restore job. The BRJOBS file contains records of all BRCOM jobs that are running,
completed, or stopped without completing. Each job has one job record that remains in
the BRJOBS file until you manually delete the record using the BRCOM DELETE JOB
command.
Unless a large number of backup and restore jobs are running simultaneously, activity
on the BRJOBS file should be light.
When Backup and Restore 2 is first installed, the BRJOBS file is located at
$SYSTEM.ZBR2.BRJOBS. You cannot use the BRCOM BACKUP or RESTORE
commands to override the location of BRJOBSVOLUME. You can use the ALTER
CONFIG command to create a new file named $brjobsvolume.ZBR2.BRJOBS to be
used for all new jobs. After the new file is created and all the jobs using the
$SYSTEM.ZBR2.BRJOBS file has finished, you can delete the original BRJOBS file.
Backup and Restore Command (BRCMD) File
BRCMD is a text file that contains the BACKUP or RESTORE command for a specific
job. You can use this file to check what objects and options were specified for the
backup or restore job.
The BRCMD file is located at $workvolume.jobid.BRCMD. The DMA normally
purges the BRCMD file after the backup or restore job finishes.
Backup and Restore Configuration (BRCONFIG) File
BRCONFIG is a text file that contains the configuration information for the DMA, the
Data Service, and the Tape Service. You can use the ALTER CONFIG command to
change the values in the BRCONFIG file. BRCOM uses the configuration information
in the BRCONFIG file for all jobs unless you override any of the values using the
configuration options when you specify the command. The configuration file is located
at $SYSTEM.ZBR2.BRCONFIG.
