Doh! "incomplete" is a flag attribute which only has the values of 'true' or
'false' AND only applies to query constraints....so you are correct, the
methodology I had previously mentioned will not work.
So am I wrong for not wanting the VSS savesets to go to tape every week? It
just seems like a lot of wasted tape media to store offsite for 6 months. The
only ones I would want to keep offsite would be the VSS savesets on my Domain
Controllers just to be safe, but again, I still think that is unnecessary.
Please correct me if my thinking is incorrect...
I'm assuming there is a way to do this such that:
1. When backups occur for the filesystem savesets, like C:\, D:\, etc., I can
send those to a media pool called 'Filesystems'
2. Then have another group that runs the VSS saveset backups and sends them to
a separate media pool called 'VSS', for example?
3. I could then filter the clone job to only grab the full backups from the
'Filesystems' pool
4. Set a 1 month retention period on the 'VSS' pool which never goes to tape
media.
We have over 200 clients so I'm thinking that this would be a huge
configuration change (and a boat load of work).
Any thoughts about VSS savesets and if they really need to go offsite while
retained onsite for 1 month? I can't think of a scenario where one would have
to go back 1 month for a VSS saveset, but I have also never run into a
situation like that. Perhaps I don't understand VSS as well as I should? If I
don't need to keep them more than my DataDomain retention period of 1 month,
would the configuration I outlined above be the proper way to handle this?
Thanks again.
I am running NW 7.6.2.7 on Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard 64-bit.

I tried this from the command line but it will obviously not work:
C:\>mminfo -q "client=name1,level=full,savetime>-7days,name='C:\'" -r
"client,name,level,savetime" -ot
client name lvl date
name1 C:\ full 20.04.2012
C:\>mminfo -q "client=name,level=full,savetime>-7days,!name='C:\'" -r
"client,name,level,savetime" -ot
client name lvl date
name1 C:\ full 20.04.2012
C:\>
So i do not expect it to run from the GUI as well. This is NW 7.6.2.5
