When onsmsync starts

The BAR_HISTORY parameter specifies whether the sysutils database maintains a backup history when you use onsmsync to expire old backups. For more information, see Using the onsmsync Utility.

If you set the value to 0, onsmsync removes the bar_object, bar_action, and bar_instance rows for the expired backup objects from the sysutils database. If you set the value to 1, onsmsync sets the act_type value to 7 in the bar_action row and keeps the bar_action and bar_instance rows for expired backup objects in the sysutils database. If you do not set BAR_HISTORY to 1, the restore history is removed.

Regardless of the value of BAR_HISTORY, onsmsync removes the line that describes the backup object from the emergency boot file and removes the object from the storage manager when the storage manager expires the object.
