1907 -    ..
1908 - Summary/Objective
1909 -
190901 - Follow up ref SDS 6 0001.
190902 -
190903 - Seem to have a problem this morning with the following subject index.
190904 -
190905 -
190906 -      h:\sd\06\00101\&0300050\$01CKEGC
190907 -
190908 - This file is only about 4K, and it should be closer to 40K, so somehow
190909 - it got truncated, perhaps while working on records for 010425.
190910 - ref SDS 4 0001 and on 890809. ref SDS 1 0001
190911 -
190912 - We had some out of memory issues saving SDS records that were fixed
190913 - yesterday. ref SDS 6 0001  Possibly this is a related problem.
190914 -
190915 - Was able to recover a backup made on 010510.
190916 -
190917 - Even doing the restore was a hassle.  Initially, tried to restore the
190918 - file from the full file backup on 010506. ref SDS 5 0001  The file is
190919 - listed in the index, but when I executed restore, after 20 minutes,
190920 - the operation had not been accomplished.  I tried to restore from the
190921 - full file backup, because it offered a fairly sure chance of getting
190922 - the file close to the full size.  If we started with interim backups,
190923 - it would require a lot of hunting to find the last time the correct
190924 - file was backed up.
190925 -
190926 - Since restoring the file from the full file backup took over 20
190927 - minutes, this turned out not to save time, so took a chance and
190928 - checked the interim backup for yesterday.  It had the file.
190929 -
190930 - There is a problem with restoring from the interim backup.  There
190931 - about 26 data sets.  Novaback takes 10 to 15 seconds to check each
190932 - data set, rather than stream to the targeted data set.
190933 -
190934 - Need to investigate stronger backup and restore program to replace
190935 - Novaback.  We cannot spend 20 minutes to restore a single file.
190936 -
190937 - This is another aspect of technology support for management taking up
190938 - a lot of time for procurement, learning, setting up and performing
190939 - tasks that are peripheral to management, reviewed on 950710 from Tom
190940 - Landauer's book. ref SDS 2 1222 and on willingness to experiment to
190941 - figure out an effective deployment, ref SDS 2 0582 and ref SDS 2 3Y7J
190942 -
190943 - Seems to support report on 970919 that computers have reduced
190944 - productivity. ref SDS 3 4739
