How to set up a back up job

[Tina_Hertzel]

We would like to have the system do incremental back ups for 6 days a week.  I would like the 1st day of the week to start at the start of the tape.  Thereafter, each day's info would be added to the tape where the last day's data ended.  If at the end of the 6th day, it needs to start back at the beginning of the tape, that is fine.

I cannot seem to find any mechanism that would do this.

Thanks

First off

If at the end of the 6th day, it needs to start back at the beginning of the tape, that is fine.

If you do this, you have none of last weeks data after Monday night's backup

If you want to keep a month's worth of data, then you need 5 

tapes, assuming that all of the week's data will fit on one tape

Set up two jobs

Monday    FULLOoverwrite

Tues-Sat  DIFF/Append, elser overwrite

Both writing to the same media set.

If you want to keep the data each tape for a month, set the media set properties to

OPP   22 days

APP     6 days
