Hi,
I am trying to back up a lot of data and work out a schedule which will allow all of this to run.. but its not possible. Backup times for the same set of data can vary up to 20 hours between passes, so I give up trying to schedule this.
What I want to know though, is there some way I can have a job which backs up one folder of data, then when that job finishes (be it in 50 hours or 70 hours) it calls the next job which backs up another folder of data, then when that job finishes it will call the next job to back up the next folder.. and continue to do this for about 8 - 10 folders of data.
I plan to start the initial job manually, then just leave the jobs to run on their own until complete.
I know there is the post job command line in each job, but I dont know if this would work since it will hold the initial job as incomplete until the chained backup jobs are all finished, which will probably hold up the tape drive and etc..
Any suggestions or comments?
Cheers!
