Hi All,
I am new to backup world, so it is helpful if you can give me advices on how to decide a backup strategy if the requirements are:
Note: i am using BE2012 + 24 slot Dell tape library - LT05
What i think now is to creat media set as below and backup schedule accordingly
Thanks in advance for your help.

Tho

Unfortunately, there is no perfect way in an imperfect world to set the OPP. For your example, you can reduce the OPP to 3 weeks to make the tape overwritable.

For your weekly tape, you need to keep it for a month to coincide with your daily backups.

Hi PKH,
Thank you for you reply.
If i set weekly media set with OPP = 4weeks, it will work perfectly for months that have 4 weeks, but how about months with 5 weeks ?
Week1 --->Friday1
Week2----->Friday2
week3----->Friday3
Week4 ----->Friday1 ( if OPP = 4 weeks, the job will fail since Friday1 is under overwrite protection)
Week5 ------>monthly backup
The above schedule is just my though. I am willing to learn if anyone has any better ideas.
Thanks,
Tho
