We have backups of a netapp system that went belly up. Because the
netapp is no longer available, the policy has been deactivated. Can't
backup what isn't there :)
I have a couple of questions.
Do the tapes remain available for restores for only as long as the retention level?
When searching for restores, I am not seeing backups from times that
I know should be available. Is that because the policy is deactivated?
Along this line, I have a lot of tapes listed as available by available_tapes,
but they are not in the library. They are DLTs and were removed when
DLT3 tape drives were installed. Currently they are part of all of
the policies. Can I move these to their own policy. Should I move
them to a single policy (the back room) or is there a
reason to
keep track of the policy they came from in the new policy name?
In other words, should I make a policy.old policy for each group of tapes.
