|  |     I now have the case where a script on a database server is going to
    execute a 'save' command to inititate a backup.  This save command will
    use whatever group I want.  I believe that, if this save commands
    executes at the same time as my nightly backups, but uses a different
    group, I will have the problem described in this note thread.
    
    However, if I use the same group in both the script-originated save
    command and the NetWorker Server-originated save commands, will
    everything work well?
    
    Thanks!

|  |     If you really meen group, then only one instance of a group will
    run at a time.  It creates a lock file the prevents the same group
    from being started again.  This is using scheduled starts, starting
    a group from the GUI, or running the savegrp command.
    
    You can't mix start methods without risking overlapping groups and
    the possible problems that concurent groups may cause.
    
    Pools are a whole different story.

    Thanks for the response.

    <<
    Gotcha.  But what if I run a save (not savegrp) command?  Will this
    'join' an already running savegroup, or be blocked by the lock file
    until the already running savegroup of the same name completes?
    
    Thanks!

|  | 	Manual saves run independantly and have no relationship to
	any group.  It doesn't matter what names are used.
	The manual save will act just like another single stream
	save group was started and the server will just stall any
	sessions greater the 'max para'.

|  | You can run as many ad-hoc saves at one time as want.  They won't 
"join" any savegroups though, they'll just be another save running.
However, you could run into problems with this if you have a savegroup
running that expects to use up the parrallelism.  See notes on 
overlapping savegroups for explanation.

|  |     This, indeed, would be a problem for us.  I'll make sure that the
    script-scheduled saves do not run at the same time as our NetWorker
    Server-scheduled saves.
    
    Thanks very much for this clarification!
