That's true, but nothing can be based on the original failing class since
it's an incremental.  The archive bit is reset already.  I'll still get all
the files this way - they'll just be in 2 separate places.  From my end, the
restore will be seamless since NetBackup handles the media.

The flaw that I can see with this is that although the re-running of a FULL
backup will be the same as the original, the re-running of an incremental
backup will not be the same.

The incremental backups are based on the class, since you will be running
the "copy" the incremental will be based on the last running of the "copy" ,
not the original failing class.

I get around this by making copies of all my scheduled classes.  I leave the
schedules in place, but delete all the start windows.  I can then run manual
backups for problem classes without messing with the frequencies of my
scheduled jobs.

Just for the record, I've seen the guy that did my Veritas training (Freddie
Gilyard) in this list, and he's the origin of this idea.  Thanks!  :-)

By setting the frequency to 1 day, then if you do a re-run of a failed
backup outside of the original window, there will not be a backup done that
day during the window. Netbackup will say that the backup has been completed
for that day, and you will miss the backup that night.

Frequency is measured from job start time.  It's actually slightly more
complex than that but if you set a 1-day frequency on a set of daily
identical windows, it'll start at the same time each day.

Hello again,

I have another question regarding frequencies. If for example I was backing
up a file system between 22:00:00 and 06:00:00 (8 hours)  and I wished to do
this every 24 hours, would you set the frequency for 16 Hours so that if the
job started moments before 06:00:00, it could start at 22:00:00 ? 

I hope someone can understand what I am trying to say ;)

Cheers,

Tim.
