We are 100% qtrees...  so I can take a list from qtree status and work
with that to verify.  I'm in the process of writing a script to do that
now.

 

About the over complication part... I don't see any way to do it less
complicated and achieve the same result.  A client or group can have an
associated schedule but as far as I know a saveset inherits the schedule
from the client or group it is assigned to, so I can't have one or two
client entries that can split the savesets across the whole week.... Of
course ignorance on my part is an option, so I'm open to learning if you
tell me how to do it.

 

Thanks!

 

Joel

Hello, 
If your volumes are not large then just avoid qtree backups, if they are
then you need to maintain & review your savesets, perhaps dumping qtree
info from the filer then comparing against your configured
clients\savesets will be needed. 
I only do backups on the qtree, but our environment does not have 100's
of Qtrees. 
you may be able to do a perl script to list qtree and compare it against
configured savesets, i do feel that you are overly complicating your
environment by designing client for each day, at the most configure two
clients for each filer and control the backups via central schedule,
dividing up the qtrees that match with your backup schedule.

Netapp NDMP backup setup

 

                




Hey Guys,



We have a FAS3040c configure as below.



Aggr0

               Vol0

                               Qtree0

                               Qtree1

                               Qtree2

                               ...

               Vol1

                               Qtree0

                               Qtree1

                               ...

...



Backups are working just fine, but I would like to set them up in a
safer way. Currently I have a client entry for each day of the week, and
that client has some subset of the qtrees defined in them so they all
don't run fulls on the same day.  I don't do it on the volume level,
because our volumes are very large.



I'd like to do something like an All on each one, then skip certain ones
on each client for a given day.  Unfortunately using All resolves to a
list of volumes not qtrees.



I'm just wondering if anyone has been able to setup qtree level backups
in a way that prevents data loss, in the event that there is a qtree
added, but mistakenly left off of the backup list.



Thanks!


Joel
