Maintaining the IDB

Changing Logging Level and Catalog Protection Settings

Reducing the IDB Size

You can reduce the IDB size by changing the catalog protection settings for a complete backup session (all objects in the session) or for specific objects only.

The effect of reducing the catalog protection is that browsing is not possible for some restores (namely of those backups that have exceeded the catalog protection).

This action does not influence the future growth of the IDB.

The change takes effect:

•If catalog protection is removed from all objects on the medium.

•Once per day (by default, at noon) when Data Protector automatically removes obsolete data from the IDB. The time can be specified in the DailyMaintenanceTime global options variable, using the twenty-four hour clock notation. Refer to “Global Options File” on page 523.

You can start the purge immediately by running the omnidbutil -purge-dcbfcommand. Refer to the omnidbutil man page for information on removing other obsolete items from the IDB.
