Re: [Networker] Batch file and script

Andrew,
If I understand correctly you want to create a script that lets you backup a
subtree in 3 parts separate from the normal backup of that volume
e.g.
master_volume = X:\
Subtree = X:\all_data\bigdata
and you want to split the Subtree into 3 parts
e.g.
Subtree_1 = X:\all_data\bigdata\[a-k]*
Subtree_2 = X:\all_data\bigdata\[l-s]*
Subtree_3 = X:\all_data\bigdata\[[t-z]*
So now you have in total 4 subtrees on this volume
You allso expect to run Subtree_1 to 3 at the same time and so expect a faster
backup.
Questions that come to mind:
Can your volume where the data is stored handle 3 datastreams of each 500GB in
paralell and can your infrastructure (network and target disk) handle it
what times would you like to archieve?
========================
I have a smaller subtree that I need to backup separately and have chosen to
skip that subtree during regular backups with a skip statement.
/volume/data1
/volume/data2
so I use a .nsr at /volume
having skip: data2
then I have a separate client entry for this client that only backs
up /volume/data2.
to schedule the second client entry one could create a separate group that can
be started with a nsradmin script
like
. type: nsr group; name MYGROUP
update autostart: start now
=============================
Is this making any sense?
