Thank you a lot! :)
I think i unserstand your setup. But just to make sure, let me try to wrap it
up in my own words.
Your jobs are basically all running with "incremental" job defs, using the
"always-incr" pool for incrementals and "consolidated" for the full backups.
Then you consolidate every day a new full to the "consolidated" pool.
Saturdays, you will run a virtual full, from "consolidated" and "always-incr"
pool, and store it in the "offsite" pool, which does mean it will be written to
tapes.
So, if i am not mistaken in my explanation above, i just need to configure a
jobdef for my tapejob, so it will be doing a virtual full, using the "full" and
"incremental" pool (since i sticked to the defaults), and store it in my tape
pool, where my tapes will belong to.
However, i am wondering why you have 15 storage devices configured, but at the
same time you only allow 10 concurrent jobs.
Is it just performance tweaking, or is this actually recommended?
My goal is to have one large full backup file/volume every monday, and one big
incremental for each day the rest of the week.
I will always keep two full chains and as soon as the third is complete, i will
automatically prune the oldest, based on "maximum volumes" and "volume
retention".
Any thoughts (for tweaking) and warning for my plans are much appreciated. :)
Were you able to run multiple storage devices in earlier versions, too?
Maybe using 16.2.4 is the issue here for me.
Thanks again Doug, for sharing your experience with such a newbie :)
I also attached all (imo) important configuration files, just in case you want
to have a look aswell.
