I am trying to create a policy with templates for backing up 3 servers to disk then to tape, but to different B2D folders.
Right now I use a policy to backup my 3 servers to disk. then duplicate that to tape. this takes 8 hours to do just to disk. And all servers must be to a single B2D folder and done one after the other.
I am trying to create a new policy. To shrink the backup window.
I have created 3 selection lists, one for each server.
I then created a policy (TEST TO DISK) with 3 templates, one for each server, to back up to differnent folders. Server1 backs up to folder server1, Server2 backs up to folder server2, ect.. All start at 9pm.
I then added a duplicate backup sets template. I select the 3 templates for the servers as the source, for device and media I choose my tape drive, and for perferred source I left it at All Devices. ***Is this correct?****
I then scheduled it for several hours later. I know this isnt optimal, but the rules for the templates didnt fit what I thought should happen.
Now when I create jobs using the policy, It creates 9 jobs.
Server1 - TEST TO DISK - Server1 device-server1 (folder)
Server1 - TEST TO DISK - Server2 device-server2 (folder)
Server1 - TEST TO DISK - Server3 device-server3 (folder)
Server2 - TEST TO DISK - Server1 device server1 (folder)
ect...
why is it creating all these jobs????
How do I create a policy to backup 3 servers to individual folders then duplicate those folders to tape so I can restore from tape?
