hey guys, was wandering if that is possible.
did some readings on schedule/job/jobdefs resources, but still not sure if this is possible. however there may be a better way to do this, so i am open to suggestions. basically we have 35 clients to backup. schedule as follows: - weekly on sunday - full backup and these tapes go off site (this is in rotation) - daily we run incremental problem at hand, if user want to restore something from last week, i need the tapes that went off site back, so i can restore data. workaround at this time - weekly on sunday - full backup and these tapes go off site (this is in rotation) - weekly on monday - full backup and these tapes stay - daily we run incremental however given that amount of full data backup is over 3 tb, it is getting pain and long to run a full backup twice. thus, i was hoping that i can do a full backup weekly (these tapes go off site) and one full backup once every 3 months or so and then run incremental daily. this way i can restore data without requesting tapes back from off site vendor. Why i started with "specific client to back up on a schedule" is that i could define client1, client2, client3.... and also client1-b, client2-b, client3-b (essentially these 1 and 1b, 2 and 2b are the same clients, but they treated as different in the database during the backup, so i can do 1,2,3 weekly and 1b,2b.3b monthly with incrementals based off the full 1b,2b,3b and not 1,2,3. incrementals are based on last full backup. thus i need some set of full backup in house and incremental that i can use to restore data. am i twisting this in a wrong way ?? is there a better way to do this? thanks ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ All the data continuously generated in your IT infrastructure contains a definitive record of customers, application performance, security threats, fraudulent activity and more.
