DETAIL Files

DETAIL files provide the following information about the contents of a tape:

• For file-level backups, the DETAIL file contains information about each minidisk, file space, directory, file, alias, track, or block backed up.
• For domain-level backups, the DETAIL file contains information about each minidisk, file space, or directory that was backed up.

CA VM:Backup creates one DETAIL file for each set of tapes (primary and copies) used for each tape stream in the backup job. Each DETAIL file contains pointers to its associated DUMPJOB file and to the next DETAIL file in the catalog.

The filenames of DETAIL files are 8-digit integer values that are unique on the production CA VM:Backup catalog disk.
