I'm trying to set up a hot catalog backup in NB 6.5. The goal is to have backups in 2 locations: tape (for off-site) and disk (for on-site and incrementals). I'd like to run a full backup to tape in the morning, then another full backup to disk in the afternoon, and then incremental backups to disk on some hourly schedule (have not decided on frequency yet).
I can't quite figure out how to set this up unless I have 2 policies. I tried to set up 1 policy with 2 schedules but I don't see how incremental would work in this case (I don't want it to based on the full backup on tape). So I'm thinking I would set it up like this:
Policy 1: tape (run full once a day)
Policy 2: disk (run full once a day + incrementals)
Will this work? I'm not sure about multiple schedules, there's a potential overlap issue (or is there? perhaps I'm over-thinking). Is there a better way to accomplish this? Has anyone tried what I'm trying to accomplish?
Also, how easy is it to recover from incremental catalog backups, if need be? I presume it's pretty much no different than from full, especially when all the images are on disk. Any experience with restoring catalog from incrementals?
Any suggestions are welcome!
