I don't think copy jobs is right for the scenario I am envisioning and I didn't think it was necessary to lay out the whole backup strategy but obviously it will help identify what I have in mind and perhaps there is a better way. Using a Dell PV-124T (16 LTO-4 tape magazine) Currently, we have: Monthly Pools: 1, 2, 3 1 for Jan, Apr, Jul, Oct 2 for Feb, May, Aug, Nov 3 for Mar, Jun, Sep, Dec Schedule: Full on the 1st Incr on all weekdays thereafter My vision for the 'Off-Site' backup was - on the 2nd, take the previous months Monthy Pool home Pools: 8, 15, 22 (3 pools) Schedule: Incremental on the 8th of each month to Off-Site-8 Incremental on the 15th of each month to Off-Site-15 Incremental on the 22nd of each month to Off-Site-22 Full backups would only be run when the set of tapes is exhausted (estimated at approximately 4-6 months) Thus my plan would be to have independent jobs - Monthly On-Site rotation (existing) - Weekly Off-Site rotation (new) backing up the same clients, the same filesets but obviously needing a different Pool, Schedule and bootstrap file... almost the same jobs as before (approximately 20 client jobs) Craig -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ All of the data generated in your IT infrastructure is seriously valuable.
