I'm new to backup exec and would like to get some help/ideas about creating backup to disk to tape rotation.
Our weekly full+incremental backup is about 3TB.
We were planning a media rotation something like this:
Week 1 disk --> Week 2 disk --> Week 3 disk --> Week 1 disk --> Week 2 disk --> Week 3 disk --> and so on.
So there would be three b2d folders.
The next thing is to create a duplicate to tape job. This might be a bit difficult, because the rotation is different from disk rotation.
What we'd like to do is something like this:
Weekly tapes 1 --> Weekly tapes 2 --> Weekly tapes 3 --> Monthly tapes 1 --> Weekly tapes 4 --> Weekly Tapes 5 --> Weekly Tapes 6 --> Monthly tapes 2 --> And rotation from beginning with growing monthly tapes.
There would be six weekly tape sets and 12 monthly tape sets.
Should I make a device pool from b2d folders?
How should I configure overwrite protections?
How can I tell be to make the duplicate from the latest data, so that it doesn't take the duplicate from old disk backup.
I'm open for suggestions.
