Creating New fnames.dat Files
What Are
fnames.dat
Files?
The fnames.dat files contain information on the names of backed up
files. Typically, these files occupy about 20% of the IDB. The default size
of a
fnames.dat file is 2 GB; the maximum size is 32 GB.
How to Create
fnames.dat Files
You add new fnames.dat files using the Internal Database context in
the Data Protector Manager . See Figure 9-9. For detailed steps, refer
to the online Help index keyword “creating fnames.dat files”.
On Windows Cell Managers, it is recommended that the extension files
are created on the same logical disk as the IDB.
The IDB extension files are backed up as a part of the IDB backup and
are restored using the IDB recovery.
