GPFS backup data

The GPFS mmbackup command creates several files during command execution. Some of the files are temporary and deleted at the end of the backup operation. There are other files that remain in the root directory of the fileset or the file system and they must not be deleted.

The mmbackup command creates other files that begin with .mmbackupShadow.*. These files are associated with the mmbackup command and are required for proper backups to be complete, so do not manually delete or change them.

For more information, see mmbackup command.
