[Networker] Tape Expiration and Retention time
2003-01-30 13:33:00
All:
I have created 2 clients with the same name and here are the stats.
The first entry backs up all filesystem except /var/mail (specified
individually), is a member of
the "3 month retention" group and saves its data to the "3 month retention"
pool. The browse and
retention times are set for 3 Months. The indexes are backed up on the "3 month
retention" pool
when backup is complete.
The second entry backups up /var/mail, is a member of the "3 day" group, saves to the
"3 day" pool,
and browse and retention times are set for 3 days. The indexes for this entry
are backed up to the
3 day pool as well.
If I elect to backup the index file once on the entry that completes last,
would I backup the index
for the earlier completed entry? I suspect yes, but wonder if there are any
advantages to this.
The important question is. I created both entries yesterday which forced
networker to perform
fulls on each client entry. The data went to the appropriate pools/tapes.
However, the expiration
date of the 3 day client was 3 months (the 3 month client was 3 months). Can
someone provide me
some insight on what is going wrong (maybe the index is set to be 3 month
because of the other
client???)?
I am using 6.1.3 server on Solaris and have manually edited the retention and
browse times with
nsrmm.
NOTE: I also have the same problem with different clients (2 entries) backing
up to a 2 week pool.
The retention time is 3 months.
