ask the wizard

BACKUP slow to ignore interlocks?

» close window

The Question is:

 
During execution of a full backup, BACKUP waits
a very long time for every encounter of a locked
file (open for write). The /IGNORE=INTERLOCK
qualifier is given.
What could be the cause? What could I try to
remedy the problem?
Thank you and merry Christmas!

The Answer is :

 
  The Wizard is not particularly familiar with the reported symptom.
 
  The Wizard will assume you are familiar with the perilous nature of
  the /IGNORE=INTERLOCK qualifier -- this is sometimes refered to as the
  (entirely hypothetical) /ALLOW=DATA_INCONSISTENCIES option.
 
  The Wizard will assume that you have applied any available BACKUP, RMS,
  XQP and locking-related ECO kits available for the particular release.
  The Wizard will also assume that an AUTOGEN pass -- with the cruft
  cleaned out of MODPARAMS.DAT per instructions elsewhere (search for
  cruft) -- to clear up various potential performance or lock tree
  resource limitations.
 
  Please contact the customer support center, as additional information
  on your configuration will be required.
