disk to disk back ups

[reyinqu]

If I have to copy  files to a folder.  Can I schedule that every day it copies new files from the folder to a different folder in another server (back up server).  In a way that I be able to restore from the back up folder.

Just copy diffferent files each day from one server folder to another server folder.

I'm not sure I follow but it sounds like you want to back up to disk.

On the Devices tab is an option that allows you to create Backup to Disk folders ... B2D, for short.

This is a link comparing backup to tape and backup to disk ...
http://support.veritas.com/docs/275624

and this is a link that shows you have to create a B2D folder and create a job to use one ...
http://support.veritas.com/docs/266377.

Now, if you want to back up a certain resource to a different folder each day, you would have to ensure that you have enough room on the remote server for the total volume (resource volume x number of days); you would create one selection list, then you would create a B2D folder for each day, and finally you would create (using that selection list) a job scheduled for each day, with each job going to a different folder.

You can do this without using BackupExec.  Create a CMD file that contains XCOPY with the  /D: switch with no operands.  It will copy only new or change files.  Then schedule this using the Windows task scheduler

XCOPY \\Server1\Share\Path\*.*   \\Server2\Share\path\   /D:

(You can do "XCOPY /? > XCOPY.TXT" to get a list of all the switches and their uses )
