I have a question. I have a Windows NW 7.4.2 storage node that I use as an
AFTD device. The disk space in question is presented from my SAN. So I
define the device as "FQDN:drive letter\file path", and this all works
wonderfully - I back up to disk, then clone to tape.
Problem: I need enough space to total 2.5 TB in size, and my SAN only
allows me to present at most a 2 TB disk (it's an HP EVA 8000). So what I
was thinking - present 2 disks on 1.2TB each (the daily backup size is 1.1
TB, so 2 drives would allow me to keep 2 days backup on disk).
What kind of config do I need to tell NetWorker? Do I just define 2
devices, and as long as they are both in the same media pool, things will
Just Work? Will NetWorker treat it the same way it treats tapes - i.e.,
will it fill up drive X: first, then start using drive Y:? Will it use
parallelism, and write to X: and Y: at the same time? I'm guessing that I
can define multiple AFTDs this way, right?
Has anyone done this? Is there something I am not taking into account?
Thanks
