Utilizing SLP for vault
Hi
Current environment:
- Main DC:
- Master: RHEL 6.7. NBU version 7.7.2
- Mediaserver: RHEL 7.2 NBU version 7.7.2
- Remote DC:
- Master: RHEL 6.7. NBU version 7.7.2
- Mediaserver: RHEL 7.2. NBU version 7.7.2
Both media servers are taking backups in their respective DC`s, and then they replicate the data through AIR to eachother. To achieve this i have created an SLP, which look likes this:
- One used in Main DC:
- Backup -> MSDP(Main DC)
Replication -> MSDP (Remote DC)
- Backup -> MSDP(Main DC)
- One used in Remote DC:
- Backup -> MSDP(Remote)
Replication -> MSDP (Main DC)
- Backup -> MSDP(Remote)
I have a taperobot connected to the Netbackup environment in Main DC. So what i am trying to achieve now is to create another duplication to tape, once a month for long term retention. So this duplication is going to run only once a month, and will have a different retention, for data from both mediaservers.
Here are some questions i have:
- How can i achieve this?
- My understanding is that i need to create another schedule and SLP, but just dont understand how?
- How will i be able to track the media used for this duplication, what about the eject report?
And to make the situation even worse, i also have a Forced rescan schedule setup to run every 6 months. If i end up creating new schedule for monthly backups, wonder what will happen if full, forced rescan and monthly all kicks at the same time. My understanding is that is uses the one with longest frequency which in this case would be forced rescan (6months).
Would appreciate some help here, thanks.
