Hi,

I have SUN storedge L25 attach to our SUN box. I have
couple of questions to ask as I'm new to netbackup. My
goal is to make full backup every day except sunday
and rotate the tape every month. At each month end, I
want to keep the tape for future restore and keep it
off site. 

a) I installed netbackup 4.5 businesserver. I want to
run full backup everyday except sunday. So in
frequency section I put "1 day" for everyday full
backup and type of backup is "FULL". I use wizard to
config the time to run which I schedule off-office
hour (18PM - 6AM). Am I right here? 

b) Retention section, how do I go about this? As I
want to rotate the tape every month and keep the last
day of each month offsite. Anybody could give me some
suggestion?

c) Tape volume. Every time I insert new tape, do I
need to reconfig Volume so that netbackup will
recognise the new tape? And since I can put 24 tape
inside my tape library, I will always keep 1 assigned
tape inside as for catalog backup. Is netbackup will
use new tape every time I run a full backup? What
happen if I use the old tape as Im rotating all tapes
and keep only month end off site? Is netbackup going
to re-use the old tape? How do I know which tape
netbackup going to use? 

Anybody could share some experience dealing with this
issue? Thank you in advance.

regards,
Feroz
