Step by step procedure rotation Scheme

[sdomb]

Dear Sir,
I need your help to make a tape backup scheme as follows:
Monday -> next Monday is overwritten
Tuesday -> is overwritten next Tuesday
Wednesday -> is overwritten next Wednesday
Thursday -> is overwritten next Thursday

Friday 1 -> is overwritten on the first Friday of each month
Friday 2 -> It overwrites the second Friday of each month
Friday 3 -> It overwrites the third Friday of each month
Friday 4 -> It overwrites the fourth Friday of each month
Friday 5 -> It overwrites the fifth Friday of each month.

Please indicate the retention times and times of overwriting, and a step by step guide on how to do using backup exec 2012 from the beginning.

Jobs will start @22:00

I appreciate your help.

Best Regards

Samuel

Hi,

Your first point of call is the Videos section on these forums:

https://www-secure.symantec.com/connect/backup-and-recovery/videos

...then the Articles/Blogs sections:

https://www-secure.symantec.com/connect/backup-and-recovery/articles

https://www-secure.symantec.com/connect/backup-and-recovery/blogs

This is where you're going to get some very good information. I'd also suggest you get hold of the BE 2012 Admin Guide on the link below, and read the TN below that referring to Append/Overwrite Protection Period settings:

Click on the Storage tab and define two new media sets.

1) For your daily jobs (the first part), set the OPP to 6 days.

2) For your weekly jobs (the second part, Friday), set the OPP to 29 days.

Assuming that you are not appending to the tapes, set the AP to 1 hour in both cases,

In your jobs, when you target the tape storage, specify these media sets.
