Re: [Networker] Batch file and script

Why not use the savesets and schedules?
I have a server that has a total of 1.1TB of disk space. I then have
different client setups for each filesystem. From there, no two
filesystems have fulls on the same day.
This may defeat your purpose if you need them backed up on the same day
for DR purposes.
Marten brings up a good point about all systems involved being able to
handle what you want. Previously, the backup server and the above
client could not handle a complete system full backup. Now, after FC
and gigE upgrades, the backup server can. The client has a few 100BT
interfaces bonded together, so I know it can support it. The client's
underlying FC array (old Clariion) can support the speed needed.

Andrew,
If I understand correctly you want to create a script that lets you backup a
subtree in 3 parts separate from the normal backup of that volume
e.g.
master_volume = X:\
Subtree = X:\all_data\bigdata
and you want to split the Subtree into 3 parts
e.g.
Subtree_1 = X:\all_data\bigdata\[a-k]*
Subtree_2 = X:\all_data\bigdata\[l-s]*
Subtree_3 = X:\all_data\bigdata\[[t-z]*
So now you have in total 4 subtrees on this volume
You allso expect to run Subtree_1 to 3 at the same time and so expect a faster
backup.
Questions that come to mind:
Can your volume where the data is stored handle 3 datastreams of each 500GB in
paralell and can your infrastructure (network and target disk) handle it
what times would you like to archieve?
========================
I have a smaller subtree that I need to backup separately and have chosen to
skip that subtree during regular backups with a skip statement.
/volume/data1
/volume/data2
so I use a .nsr at /volume
having skip: data2
then I have a separate client entry for this client that only backs
up /volume/data2.
to schedule the second client entry one could create a separate group that can
be started with a nsradmin script
like
. type: nsr group; name MYGROUP
update autostart: start now

I am running Windows Legato 7.1.3 and i have been asked to create a batch
file/Script (of which i have never done before) to automate a batch file to
directory our /projects drive and feed the results into a backup script.
The reason for this is that in our /projects directory we have 150
directories and it is taking way to long to backup as it is 1.7TB in size
so we need a good way of separating them out in the backups. We need to
split one saveset of 1.7TB into three so that we have three savesets going
to disk at the same time which means it will finish quicker.
Could someone please help me on how i acheive this, maybe someone already
has this sort of thing in place and could send me a copy of the
batch/script or just some advice on a resource i can use to write something
to do this job. Any help would be much appreciated.
