Hi All.
I have a large set of files, (totalling almost halve a gig of files) that
are continually written to by several servers.  Files are categorized into
folders by month, then location of the server that wrote the file.  A script
deletes all files older then 3 months.  The files are never modified once
written.
 
Under Arcserve, I did an incremental backup of everything written in the
last 2 days. every day
I did a full backup of everything with a creation date of under 2 weeks,
every week.  This ensured that all files were offsite, within a week after
being written, they were on at least 2 volumes, and I was backing up a
relatively small amount of data.
 
As I understand it, Netbackup does not have any kind of filter by date
feature.  Is there a way to at least partially replicate this system?  I am
unfamiliar with the numbered backup scheme, but I was thinking that I could
do a full backup once a month, a number 3 backup every day, and a number 2
backup every weekend (except the last.)
 
Do I have this right?
 
David
