Strange Backup/ign=inter behavior on 7.3-1

[Dan Teja]

Summary: On openVMS 7.3-1 if I do backup/ign=inter on a file that is locked by another user. When I unpack the save set the modified date is different from the original file.

If I do the same thing on 7.3 the modified date doesn't change. Why?

Example:

$ dir/date=(c,m) my_file.dat

Directory $1$dga200:[user.teja]

MY_FILE.DAT;1 10-FEB-2003 16:38:02.49 26-JUN-2003 12:44:06.65

Total of 1 file.


$ backup/log/ign=inter my_file.dat my_file.bck/sav
%BACKUP-W-ACCONFLICT, $1$dga200:[user.teja]my_file.DAT;1 is open for write by another user
%BACKUP-S-COPIED, copied $1$dga200:[USER.TEJA]MY_FILE.DAT;1

$ backup/log my_file.bck/sav $1$dga300:[backup]*.*
%BACKUP-S-CREATED, created $1$dga300:[backup]MY_FILE.DAT;1

$ backup/log my_file.bck/sav $1$dga300:[backup]*

$ dir/date=(c,m) $1$dga300:[backup]my_file.dat

Directory $1$dga300:[BACKUP]

MY_FILE.DAT;1 10-FEB-2003 16:38:02.49 25-JUN-2003 18:31:18.94

Total of 1 file.

Hi

Yes they have changed it. You find the information in the new features manual of OpenVMS V7.3-1.

Here the link to it!
