Synthetic Policy-Templetes

[navar_holmes]

What is the best way to configure a Synthetic template.

I have looked at the manual but what is truely the best way?

I have a single B2D folder just for Synthetic's.

Under Destination-Device and Media

Device is set to Synthetic Folder

Media set is "Synthetic Weekly"

For the "When this job begins" I changed the default option to Overwrite Media. Is this the best option ofr preformance?

Yes.  You should always overwrite disk media.
