I would like to get real world experience from the community.
The question is:
There is a need to have multiple retention periods for files on a certain node. There are 2 options:
- create multiple management classes
- create multiple domains
The former allows the possbility of just one node name and backup schedules controlled by running specific command lines and calling different sys/opt files for backups
The latter is rather straightforward but requires multiple node names for the different required retention periods.
What other pluses or minuses for these 2?
From an auditing viewpoint, the latter offers a straightforward view that one can easily prove that the retention is answered for and that the destination do align with the ongoing backups.
I am more inclined with the latter for the reasons I have outlined.
What do you think?
