I just subscribed, so excuses for the usual reasons, please...
I'm responsible for backing up a mixed environment with both stationary
and mobile computers.
For the mobile computers I figured that a Backup Server script would be
the most suitable, since those users work on very different times of the
day, but for the stationary computers I've set up a Backup script that's
supposed to run at 10 p.m. every night.
Now, every Friday I've set up a recycle backup, spanning four sets of
tapes (for four weeks between recycling of one set), and then I do normal
backups Saturday through Thursday. I set the normal backups as starting
the same day (Friday) as the recycle backup, but setup to run on Monday,
Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Saturday, Sunday.
The problem is, Retrospect seems to forget the normal backups, and moves
on to the next backup set. When I get back after a weekend and the users
are worried that they haven't been backed up, I set the normal backup to
start on Friday the week before (where it was originally). Retrospect
immediately backs up all the computers, but then forgets all executions
of the backup set for four weeks.
I'm sure I'm doing something obviously wrong here, but I can't figure out
what...
Thanks in advance,
/Robert Staflin
