So what i want to do is:
1.- Full backups run first sunday of the month.
2.- Incremental backups run monday through friday
3.- Differential backups run 2dn-5th sundays of the month.
At the moment i am backing up 2 servers; file server and mail server. File server has 310GB of data and it would?certainly?fit in 2 VS1 tapes. Mail server is 100GB so 1 VS1 tape will be enough.
I dont want the full backup jobs to exceed those amount so i want to set file server job to use 2 tapes and mail server 1 tape. Then use the?remaining?tapes for incremental and?differential?(we have 7 tapes in the super loader). So file server job would use 2 tapes for full and 1 tape for incremental and differential (3 tapes total). Mail server 1 tape for full and 1 tape for incremental and differential.
We also have 5 sets of 7 tapes and i plan to use 1 set per month so that we have 5 months of backups and be able to restore data from any point in time during the past 5 months. I would like to have the full backup tapes to be written once until the whole ?cycle runs and it's time to use them again.
The problem i am having is that when the file server job runs, it adds 2 tapes to the Full-pool, then the mail server job runs it says i cant add anymore tapes to the pool.
Do that mean that i have to define more pools if i want to separate the mail server and file server tapes...?
Here are my pool definitions:
Pool {
Name = Full-Pool-dsk-tpe
Pool Type = Backup
Recycle = yes
AutoPrune = yes
Volume Retention = 1 months
Maximum Volume Jobs = 1
# Label Format = Full-
Maximum Volumes = 2
Storage = SLDLTv4
}
Pool {
Name = Diff-Pool-dsk-tpe
Pool Type = Backup
Recycle = yes
AutoPrune = yes
Volume Retention = 1 months
# Maximum Volume Jobs = 1
# Label Format = Full-
Maximum Volumes = 1
Storage = SLDLTv4
}
Pool {
Name = Incre-Pool-dsk-dsk
Pool Type = Backup
Recycle = yes
AutoPrune = yes
Volume Retention = 5 days
# Maximum Volume Jobs = 1
# Label Format = "IncreFileServ-"
Maximum Volumes = 1
Storage = SLDLTv4
}
Thanks
