large disk with many files. In comparing
the number of directories/files/disk-blocks
used on the source vs the new disk, we find
that all directories were copied, but about
85 of 30,000 files were not copied. The person
making the copy did not use the /IMAGE
qualifier but instead opted for [*...]*.*;*
What files would typically not get copied
in this scenario? TIA
Solved! Go to Solution.

Re: BACKUP Copy Skips some files?
The thing with the leading "$" used to be documented - has/had to do with the recursive structure of 000000.DIR;1 being an entry in itself [000000].

Re: BACKUP Copy Skips some files?
-SYSTEM-W-ACCONFLICT, file access conflict
(if /INGORE=INTERLOCK was not used)
-SYSTEM-W-NOSUCHFILE, no such file
(if the old volume had directory entries pointing to non-existant files)
-RMS-E-CRE, ACP file create failed
-SYSTEM-W-TOOMANYVER, too many higher file versions
(if there exist more versions of an existing file then its version limit)
It also could be related to file aliases. BACKUP's beheviour with aliases has changed over the years so I'm not sure of the currrent details, but your count of files on the old volume may count some files twice due those files, or their containing directories, having aliases.

Solutiongets the files and directories in [000000]
BACKUP SYS$SYSDEVICE:[*...]
gets the directories in [000000] not the files
like BACKUP.SYS, INDEXF.SYS and so on.
This may account for some of the difference.
Purely Personal Opinion

Re: BACKUP Copy Skips some files?
I am referring to the "Not Copied" phrasing. I have seen people use that wording when the contents were not copied, so I mention it.
If the files show up in the listing, then NOBACKUP could be excluded.
Could it be that the user ommitted the ";*" from the file selection? The exact BACKUP command should be obtainable from the /LIST option on the saveset.

Re: BACKUP Copy Skips some files?
Could it be that you have a BACKUP version that is limited to a depth of 8 directories?
I've seen people use rooted directories (aka concealed devices) to create directories more than 8 levels deep (if you count starting from the 000000.DIR). I know that (at least in the old days) BACKUP just skipped the files in the directories more than 8 levels deep if you specified a [*...] as input.
