Duplicate tape to offsite using bpduplicate
Hi, I am using NBU 7.0.1 (master server OS is Windows 2008 R2) and plan to create bpduplicate script to duplicate backup images to tape for offsite store. I have create a volume pool named as offsite. I plan to duplicate backup images of some important clients and/or certain policies to offsite volume pool and export the media when it is full for offsite store.
My questions are:
1. I found bpduplicate has many parameters. I am a bit confusing. Which are the necessary ones in my case?
2. I want to duplicate backup images of certain clients or certian policies. Can I create a list of clients or policies? Or I need to put all the clients or policies after -client_name/-policy?
3. My offsite tape retention will be a few years. In order to be able to restore the backups, do I need to backup catolog to offsite as well?
Thanks.
Apologies for giving you Unix scripts/commands - you were clear in your opening post about the OS on your master - Windows 2008 R2.
