Hi,
I really need some help here.
I am running Veritas Netbackup 6.5.4 on Unix.
I am trying to set up the netbackup policies and media tapes to use.
The setup is like this:
I have a total of 7 tapes:
Day001 -(Full backup daily)-monday
Day002 -(Full backup daily) -tuesday
Day003 -(Full backup daily)-wednesday
Day004 -(Full backup daily)-thursday
Day005 -(Full backup daily)-friday
Week01- (Full backup saturday)
Week02- (Full backup sunday)
I have daily full backup running from monday to friday, and weekly backup for saturday and sunday. I have a tape library and I intend to leave all 7 tapes in the library.
Question is, how do I configure the tapes to a particular day?
Example: Day001 to be used for monday, and Day002 to be use for tuesday backup.
I intend to setup a daily volume pool and place (Day001, Day002, Day003, Day004, Day005) into the volume pool, and weekly volume pool for (Week01 and Week02)
But when the daily backup policy calls for the media and all 5 tapes in the library are available, will it just randomly use any available tapes in the volume pool?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
Rgds
