[Networker] How to implement retention policy (monthly archive)
2008-07-09 10:51:22
Hi all,
I'm looking for input on how to implement the following policy: 60 day
retention standard, but monthly backups retain for 7years. We run a weekly
full with incremental backups typically. I know one option is to create two
client definitions for each client and use separate groups/pools. That
method still leaves the problem of how not to run the normal weekly when the
monthly archive needs to run. Any ideas on how to implement this cleanly
without a largely manual process? I played with creating a custom schedule,
but networker keeps trying to anticipate what I am trying to do and moving
the day of the full. I run on windows (unfortunately) and have thought of
using an AT job to disable the normal groups and enable the archive groups
once a month. I have also thought of just cloning the end of month weeklys
and sending those offsite.
We are running 7.4.2 on Windows 2003 server.
Thanks,
