We don't have vault either. I created some custom scripts that handle the
duplication. Basically we do backups with 3 different schedule names:
Daily, Cumm_Inc, and Arc_Daily.
I have 3 lines in my script for this duplication:
RunWait, %comspec% /c "%verpath%\\%nbupath%\\bpduplicate.exe" -dstunit
%destunit% -dp %destpool% -sl Cumm_Inc -v -L %logfile% -s %lastrun%
%brun%\:00 -rl %taperl%, , Hide
RunWait, %comspec% /c "%verpath%\\%nbupath%\\bpduplicate.exe" -dstunit
%destunit% -dp %destpool% -s %lastrun% %brun%\:00 -sl Daily -v -L %logfile%
-rl %taperl%, , Hide
RunWait, %comspec% /c "%verpath%\\%nbupath%\\bpduplicate.exe" -dstunit
%destunit% -dp %destpool% -s %lastrun% %brun%\:00 -sl Arc_Daily -v -L
%logfile% -rl %taperl%, , Hide
The first duplicates the cumulative backups (I run cumulatives every 2 hours
during the day so this one runs at 7pm)
The second duplicates the Daily Full backups (since my jobs are done by 3 am
that is when this job runs)
The third duplicates the Arc_Daily backups. (the daily's are broken into
two groups due to my requirement to send an additional copy of my exchange
backups off-site permanently.) This one is part of the script that runs at
3 am.
Of course this is a windows master server. The way I work is that I have a
pool called On-Site that the jobs backup to (as well as some disk) There is
a pool called off-site that the duplications run to. Once the duplication
script finishes a script runs that looks for any tapes that are in my Robot
that are assigned (I do not keep any off-site copies in the robot) and sends
an e-mail message to the librarians telling them these tapes need to be
rotated. I also have scripts that handle ejecting those tapes and such but
that is more complicated.
If the librarian puts an off-site tape in the library before it expires the
script will mark it to be ejected if it is not used or does not expire
before the morning duplication runs again.
All of my windows scripting is done via a freeware scripting tool called
AutoIT. It is made for automating PC tasks such as installs but has enough
power that I can parse some text and run my commands.
Hope this helps.
