Backup plan
We have a group of servers that we want to backup using backup exec. Our backup window is quite short so we are backing up to disk and then backing up these disk folders to tape.
What I want to implement is a two week rotation using the backup to disk. We are using version 10.
I cant quite get my head around how to do this. Any idea please?

- If you wish to remain backing up to disk, you can create a directory structure as follows:
VeritasBU
----1st3rdLast
----Monday
----Tuesday
----Wednesday
----Thursday
----Friday
----2nd4th
----Monday
----Tuesday
----Wednesday
----Thursday
----Friday
Make each of the days of the week a device with the "1st3rdLast" or "2nd4th" included in the device name.
Schedule your jobs to run via Job Setup ---> Frequency --> Schedule --> Run Day Options --> Week Days
In Job Setup --> Destination --> Device and Media, click Overwrite Media
In Media -->Media Sets, create a disk media set. Set the overwrite protection period to 13 days.
On your tape backups, backup the appropriate subdirectory by setting the appropriate schedule.
Hope this helps
