Hello,

I need some input on my backup strategy. Here is my setup:

1 -  LTO3  24 slot autochanger with one drive.

1 -  6.5 TB Openfiler SAN

1 - 17 TB Openfiler SAN

30 Servers with around 8 TB of Data.

I am trying to figure out a backup schedule that will allow all the data to be 
backed up during the open backup windows as well as allow for long term 
retention. Here is my current idea:

Pools:
Monthly Pool 
        -Retention 2 months
        -Storage is the 17TB San

Daily Pool
        - 1 month retention
        - Storage is the 6.5 TB San

Monthly Archive Pool 
         - 1 Year Retention
        - Autochanger for storage

Yearly Archive
        - 7 Year retention
        - Autochanger for storage



Schedule:

        1st Saturday of the month Monthly full backup are made to Monthly Pool

        Daily incremental occur every day after Monthly Full Backup to Daily 
Pool

        3rd Sunday previous monthly backup is copied to Monthly Archive

        Yearly Archive is run at the end of December 


Does this seem like a good plan? Should I be running weekly fulls or does the 
incremental disk based backup (which is located in another building than server 
room) work?

Thanks,

David
