Re: BRMS sometimes saves entire IFS

[Joe Pluta <joepluta@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Yes, we're researching reducing SAVSECDTA time.  That will involve 
switching to authorization lists (which we should be doing anyway), but 
that project hasn't been scheduled yet. This IFS issue is a different 
issue that has been happening infrequently for some time now.  And 
looking at the logs, I don't understand it at all.

We've got this in our backup:

                 Auxiliary Weekly   Incremental Full       Retain
Save       List  Storage     Activity Media Media      Object
Item       Type  Pool Device MTWTFSS  Policy Policy     Detail
*LINK            *ALLAVL     IIIIIFI  DAILY DAILY      *YES

But from what I can tell, the system did a complete IFS save on 3/23, 
3/27, 3/30, 4/06, 4/10, 4/13 and today, 4/17.  I only base that on the 
number of IFS objects saved (2 million vs a few thousand).  I cannot 
tell from the logs which type BRMS attempted.  Weirdly, it doesn't seem 
to me that it is EVER doing a complete IFS backup on Saturdays (3/21, 
3/28, 4/4, 4/11).

4/13 was unusual in that it was an ad-hoc mid-month save during the 
day.  The rest all occured during our overnight processing, in which the 
IFS *LINK portion usually kicks off around 2AM (unless SAVSECDTA goes long).
