Hi,

 

Not sure even PartnerNet would have something like this, and it should be down to the individual to do so.

You'd have to create a spreadsheet with a calendar in it, and designate the days that would run daily, weekly and monthly backups.

Then another sheet showing how long they'd be retained for etc.

Thanks!

You just backup the folders that the profiles are stored in and the actual folder that the folders are redirected to

Append/OPP is determined by your business requirements. If you need to retain the data on tape for 10 days, set the retention accordingly.

You're using BE 2010 so you can still do GFS (Grandfather, Father, Son - Monthly, Weekly, Daily) and these will have their own retention times for instance.

There is no best practice around this.

You can read up on Append/OPP on the link below:
