That will work, no problems.
A "backup stgpool" is always incremental.
You can kill the process, restart it whenever you want, it will just
pick up and copy whatever data wasn't copied the previous run.

Subject: Limiting input volumes in backup stg command


 
I have a local primary storage pool that gets backed up to a copy
storage pool that gets sent off site.  In addition, I have started
backing up the primary storage pool to virtual volumes at our DR
location.  This is working fine and I was able to backup all previous
tapes in the primary pool to the virtual volumes at the DR location.   

I now have another storage pool that I want to backup to our DR location
but it contains a lot more tapes in the primary pool.   Even if I run
the "backup stg" over the weekend it will not complete in one weekend.
I don't see any option to limit the "backup stg" command to process
specific volumes.   If I just kick off the command Friday night and
cancel it Sunday night and do that for the new few weekends would anyone
expect this to be an issue?

Any alternatives would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Ed
