[Veritas-bu] Netbackup 6.0 Tape rotation
2007-05-21 04:57:15
I am new to using netbackup and have recently been tasked with completing the
setup of a new windows based environment. I have however been having issues
with with the rotation of tapes in that. The backup have been configured to
create two copies off all backups, one copy is sent to the onsite pool, the
other to offsite. Tapes are then ejected using a vault policy. The tapes
offsite are on a two weekly cycle (monday1, monday2 etc) and are configured
with a two week retention period. The issue I am having is that, when the
tapes come back from offsite storage and be re-inventoried back into the
library to be re-used, at the point where they reach expiration date\time, the
tapes are moved back into the scratchpool. I do not want this to happen as it
makes management of the media very difficult with the 3rd party tape storage
comany. What I really need is for the tapes to be moved back into the offsite
pool so that the same tapes are used as the tapes that were used at th!
e previous point in the tape cycle. I am more familiar with using bakupexec
and never had a problem however having difficulty doing the same i netbackup,
is the above by design or am i missing something (likely)?
Thanks
