BackUp Exec 2010 Overwrite Protection
Dear all,
Myself Kiran, joined recently with connect.
I created a backup job which will take full backup of a client from Monday(1/06/2010) to Saturday(6/06/2010). And the requirement customer asking is next Monday(8/06/2010) backup should be overwritten in place of first Monday's(1/06/2010) backup. So the media should contain backups from 2/06/2010 to 8/06/2010. I configured media set daily with overwrite protection period of 6 days and appending period for 7 days. Which will not work with this requirement. So, please help me with the configuration. Tell me whether symantec backup exec 2010 supports this or not?
- I tried it with BackUp-to-Disk.
Created a media set TEST with overwrite protection period: 6 days
Append period: 1 day.
Created a backup policy and added 6 job templates.
Scheduled one job for each day backup.
Associated a selection list with it.
Associated the media set TEST with each job, not with the B2D folder.
Then i tried takng two weeks backup.
It worked absolutely fine.
On eighth day first day's backup is overwritten, not total weeks.
And not given any media overwrite protected error.
If any of you have testing facility with tape test it and help me.
