Defect NumberDefect OE00208701 /PSC00234422
Enhancement Number
Cause
PROBKUP online reads all database blocks probkup needs to read into either the general buffer pool (-B) or the alternate buffer pool (-B2) as these database objects have been configured.  As such, online PROBKUP triggers the LRU2 enabled. Although backup does no LRUing, once the backup fills the alternate buffer pool the LRU2 mechanism kicks in for future access by other processes. In other words, if the sum of all the -B2 enabled data exceeds the value of -B2 setting, this will then initialise the LRU2 which defeats one of the aims of scoping the -B2 size. 
Resolution
Upgrade to OpenEdge 10.2B05 or 11.7.5, where online backup will restore the LRU2 enabled state if it was enabled during the backup.
Workaround
Use the -Bp option when issuing PROBKUP online, where the value of -Bp must be smaller than the value of -B2 for this workaround to be successful.
 
Example:
$  probkup online sports2000 sports2000.bkp -Bp 10
