Backup procedures
We have recently decided to switch from a tape based backup plan that used a new tape for a full backup daily. We are looking to swap to external SSD's doing a weekly full and a daily incremental. Swapping out drives weekly. My question is can I set this up in a way that puts the full backups in one folder that only overwrites during the next full job and the incrementals in another so that the incrementals dont overwrite the weekly full but overwrite themselves. I hope that makes sense.
I think I can do this by creating the jobs and then creating a policy but I am not sure.
Any help would be great.
Although you can create 2 B2D folders to do what you want, it is not recommended because from BE 2012 onwards, you can only have 1 B2D folder in a volume.
There is no harm putting both your full and incremental backups in one B2D folder. Just make sure that you set the OPP for both these backups correctly and the backup sets would not be inadventently overwritten by either jobs.
