Media Set Creation
Good Day,
I have 10 tapes with IBM LTO 6 ULT3580 and EXEC backup 2012 (With VMware agent Lice) installed on Win 2008 R2. I’m planning to create Weekly & Monthly full backup and daily incremental. what i need to know are the follow:
1-The best practice to create media set for my backup. can i create one media set used for all tapes or should i divide to multiple media set.
2-What is the media pool? is it different from media set. should i use in my environment (sorry if the question wrong, I’m not expert in the backup domain).
3-In Storage>>Slots i can see all tapes with Label (barcode). should i change that label to something like (Sunday-backup) or it's better to keep the same?
4-I need to take backup for 7 virtual machines. can i take weekly full backup and daily incremental (does incremental backup works with VM)?
Thank you in advance,
George
- 1. There is no need to create different media sets if the OPP and the AP are the same. 2. Since you are only using one tape drive, there is no need for a device pool 3. Since you are using barcode labels, you cannot change the labels in the BE console. The tapes will always use the barcode labels 4. Yes. You can have incremental backups with your VM backups
