Jeremy,
This is similar to my environment... I have shared scripts before and I
can send you some but our basic plan is this...
We backup everything to the VTL...
On Mondays I have a script that starts cloning from our main backup pool
everything that backed up starting between Saturday morning and Sunday
night... This goes to a clone set, getting the script to pick up the right
backup sets and get the parallelism high was not the easiest.
As a further plan on the 15th-17th of the month I have a script that
pushes anything left on the VTL older then 4 weeks old off to our longer
retention "Monthly" pool.
Hope that helps...
Alec
