i have a question regarding schedules and backup levels.
I have one client called "server" which is assigned to a group
called "servergroup" with daily autostart (no group override)
which does a full backup every saturday and incremental backups the
other days. The browse and retention time are both set to "one month".
Lets say i add to the group "servergroup" the client "server" a second
time but this time with a browse and retention time of "one year" and
a schedule which does a full backup on the first day of month and skip
all other days.
What happens at the first day of month if the first defined client
would do a incremental backup and the second client (with a schedule
defined to do a full backup on the first of month and skip all other
days) would do a full backup. Does the level "full" have predecence over
"incremental" ?
(The big picture here is: I would like to keep a monthly backup
of this server for one year instead of one month.)
You cannot add the same client to the same group twice with the same
save sets. NetWorker has checks built in to prevent users from doing
stupid things.
You can do it by putting the client in a different group. They way you
describe it you will then get two backups on the first of the month, a
full and possibly an incremental. This is not wise. To prevent this you
need an override in the first group to make it skip on the 1st of the month.
