Hello everyone,
I need advice on the following ?
I have a couple of critical client's ( approx 100 ) on my backup server
which are
backed full once a Month and incr other days, with Saturday and Sunday
as skip.
Now as part of the DR readiness program, i am supposed to perform a
Full backup each
weekend for these systems on to a seperate Tape pool.Here's how i have
setup:
1. I run the weekend full backups without index saves.The Bootstrap is
also backed to this Tape
pool to assist in recovery at remote site.However indexes are not
backed because if i
create indexes for each weekend run, then i end up screwing my
regular incr
backups as on monday they'll end up using each Sunday's (level 0)
indexes for finding and backing
changed files.
Now Since I dont create any indexes for this DR run , i am unable to
perofrm file-by-file browsing
for recoveries without having to scan all tapes.
What i need help on:
1. Is there any way i could create these Indexes for Weekend Backup and
backup this run's indexes
to this DR tape pool only ?
2. Once this activity has been done ,can i purge the local disk index
by defining a very short expiry period
( 0 or 1 day, i am not sure ) befor next run for these clients ?
Appreciate any assistance from you folks.
Rgds,
Monit
