We handle this in a way which was described in a tech note from Legato a
few years ago.
Basically we have multiple groups defined, all clients are added to
these groups..
For example....
Two groups:
Unix-Incr
Unix-Full
A custom schedule is assigned to the group Unix-Incr which says do an
incremental Saturday to Thursday and skip on Friday.
Another custom schedule is assigned to Unix-Full which says skip
sat-thurs and full on Friday.
You assign the Unix-Incr group to the NonFull pool, and the Unix-Full
group to the Full pool.
The retention comes from the client records, you should use the same
retention for every client in the same pool, so this gets tricky if you
don't want to keep your incrementals for as long as your fulls... The
workaround has generally been to create different client records for the
full and incremental backups, but this gets difficult to maintain very
wuickly unless you bypass the gui and use scripts to keep everything in
order..
In 7.3 onwards I believe you can set the retention in the group
definition and I'm planning on trying this out soon...

Incremental/Differentials
Hi Kobus, Thanks for the reply. To state it more clearly I DO want to
continue backing up the ASR:, SYSTEM STATE and SYSTEM FILES (always
Full) from the Windows Clients.
What I perceive doing is for a Windows Client doing an Incremental
backup of its' C: drive, directing this backup to my NonFull Pool
(D2D2T), and at the same time, sending these ASR, SS, and SF backups to
the
Full pool.
At the time of this client turn to do a Full, send all of the backups
to the Full pool.
Giving this some more thought, this ought to be doable with the
Selection Criteria (levels) tab in the Pool resource.
Thanks,
Randy
Oh, this is Networker 7.3.2 on Linux.

If I understand correctly, you don't want to backup the ASR:, SYSTEM
STATE, and SYSTEM FILES? These are normally small and shouldn't
influence space on tapes. But if you'd like to exlude them simply
specify what you DO want backed up eg. C:, D: etc.
Hope I understood the problem correctly.

Hello, I'm trying to set up a separate pool for our Full backups (for
offsite storage) and another pool for the Incremental/Differential
backups
(mostly, if not all D2D2T).
I'd like all Fulls go directly to Tape (using the sample Full Pool).
My question regards these pesky Windows backups (SYSTEM DB:, SYSTEM
STATE:
ASR:, etc) which are always Full. Whereas tonight for instance, the
regular
file system backups were Incrementals.
Can I send those different backups (from a specific client) where they
need
to go - Full or Incremental?
Anybody doing some similar?
Thanks,
Randy
