Creating backup-to-disk-to-tape rotation with different amount of disk and tape sets.

Lundqvist
Not applicable
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.
