Error description

• When completing a full incremental backup to validate and enable
  a Tivoli Storage Manager client journal database, the operation
  can experience errors while processing some files.  For example,
  a file that is temporarily unavailable at backup time cannot be
  sent to the Server, and may report an error similar to the
  following:
  
    ANS4008E Error processing '/fs/file1': file is temporarily
             unavailable
  
  Despite errors preventing certain files from being backed up,
  the journal database can be unexpectedly validated and enabled
  for future journal based backups.
  
  Any files that were not successfully backed up during the
  initial full initial incremental can be ignored by subsequent
  journal based backups (unless the files in error change at
  some point after the journal is enabled).
  
  Initial Impact:
  High
  
  Tivoli Storage Manager Versions Affected:
  All Tivoli Storage Manager users of journal based backups.

Local fix

• Disable journal based backups until fixing maintenance can be
  applied.
