Tivoli Storage Manager for Windows Backup-Archive Clients Installation and User's Guide
The incrthreshold option specifies the threshold value for the
number of directories in any journaled file space that might have active
objects on the server, but no equivalent object on the workstation.
When a Windows client deletes a file or directory with a long name, it
sometimes reports this using a compressed name. After the object is
deleted, the compressed name may be reused and the deletion notice may no
longer identify a unique object. During a journaled incremental backup
of a file space, this may result in the no active version response
from the server resulting in an unsuccessful expire for an object.
The incrthreshold option allows you to specify what to do when
this condition arises:
- If you set the incrthreshold option to 0 (the
default), Tivoli Storage Manager takes no action. The primary
consequence is that, during a restore of such a directory, these objects may
be inadvertently restored. When the next non-journaled incremental is
run on this directory, Tivoli Storage Manager expires all objects in the
directory that exist on the server but not on the workstation.
- If you specify a value greater than zero, Tivoli Storage Manager saves an
object's directory name in the journal during journaled backups.
During a full file space journaled incremental backup, if the number of
directories in the file space is greater than or equal to this value, a full
incremental backup of each directory occurs. This takes place
automatically after completion of the journaled backup and does not require
entry of another command.
- If you set the incrthreshold option to 1, Tivoli
Storage Manager performs a full incremental backup of these directories
whenever a no active version response is received during a full
file space journaled incremental backup.
See Incremental for more information about journaled backups.
Supported Clients

Syntax
>>-INCRTHreshold--numberdirectories----------------------------><
Parameters
- numberdirectories
- Specifies the threshold value for the number of directories in any
journaled file space that may contain active files that should be
expired. When this threshold is reached during a full file space
journaled incremental, the client initiates an incremental backup on each such
directory at the completion of the journaled backup. The range of
values is 0 through 2,000,000,000; the default is 0.
Examples
- Options file:
- incrthreshold 1
- Command line:
- Does not apply
