Nicolai, at present we run a Full on a Friday and this is retained for 30Days and then Diff Inc on Mon-Thu with a retention of 7 days, I was thinking of oing a Full on the 1st Friday and have a retention of just over one month (35days) then have the Cumulative Inc tun on every other Friday with a retention of 30 days and then use Diff Inc on the Mon-Thu with the 7 day retention remaining......
Just spotted this in the NBU documentation regarding having the Cumulative and Differential in the same policy:
Do not combine differential incremental cumulative incremental backups within the same Windows policy when the incremental backups are based on archive bit (default).
How can I tell if we are using anything but archive bit???
EDIT: found the article about the archive bit and how to change this, however, this seem to done via the Client Netbackup Restore GUI only, can this be done form the Master or from the Clinet via the Master??
Andy, have you seen any issues with your set-up as this is what I am looking at doing.
