Hello Dojo,
DMA version: 10.4 CU6
I have the backup network path configured for failover agent as shown below:
The number of backup to keep is configured as 7.
As per the documentation: Backing up a DataMiner Agent in DataMiner Cube | DataMiner Docs
and in the network path, I saw that there are total of 7 backup files (one for main and one for the backup agent).
(1) Is there a way to know which file is dedicated for main and backup?
(2) May I know if there is a way to change the format of the backup file name for main and backup agent as well?
Thank you for the help.
Hello Miguel, yes, it is indeed that it is ideal only to take the backup on one agent.
For this, I am covering on behalf of the customer.
I am not sure for now there are two backups for both failover pair because of the backup settings are configured for both agents in the maintaninancesettings.xml.
Hi Min,
For (1) there is no easy way to determine this. This is also not intended AFAIK, because conceptually, both main and failover DMAs should contain the same data.
For (2), there is at present no way that I know of to do this.
Is there a specific reason the user would like to differentiate between both packages?
Hello Laurens,
Thank you for the information.
There is no specific reason from the user.
We just would like to know if there is possible way to edit the backup file format.
Hi Min,
Small question, since the active and offline agent mirror each other and are always on sync, is it an option to take the backup only on one agent?
