Here's a couple of quickies, in no particular order:
- consolidate your retention policies, or rather, have the business
dictate to you what they want, just align them across all groups within
the organization
- I have two datacenters to backup, therefore, I have two volume pools,
plus a scratch pool
- I have ~80 policies, my naming convention is this:
- for cold backups of Oracle databases - <server>_<SID>_cold
- for hot backups of Oracle databases - <server>_<SID>_hot
- filesystem backups - <server>_misc_os
This makes things nice and easy to read for anyone looking at the system.
- use exclude lists where applicable.
There's so much more to talk about regarding the configuration of your
backup domain. Are you having any specific problems that you need to solve?
