I' am having a tough time with getting this one to work. My situation is as follows.
I've been trying to setup up my Media server backups so an incremental Backup job runs every hour from 6 AM to 6 PM and a Full backup can start anytime after 7 PM. T...
So I need some help understanding the Overwrite/Append features. I understand the concept but for some reason I cannot get it to work the way I'd like it to.
Let me explain my strategy first (and please offer any suggestions)

Hey guys,
I have a couple questions but first let me know explain.
I have setup jobs for each server by day. Mon - Thurs has a seperate job for each server. I have set up each different job to go to a seperate tape. So I know Monday's job went to M...
Does anybody know of a Legend with what Icons indicate?
I'm looking at my media and my tapes all have "red squiggly lines" for lack of a better term

Hey Guys,
I'm kind of new to backup exec 2010 R3 but I have a few questions. First let me put a scenario together to help illustrate my question before I sound too much like a noob.
Say a production server went down and you cant restore the OS,...
What would you do for a good RTO on a media server. Just full backup's and maybe differentials at night? Thats what I' am currently doing for all the rest of my servers. My Media server is the most important server to my operation and I'd like it to ...
Well the main objective here is to get the media server up as quickly as possible then get the DC up then Exchange.
I know Symantec has a product for making system recovery faster. But why would I need it when I have Backup Exec? Can't I restore fro...
What is your suggestion then? Should I not backup Hourly? I'm doing Nightly Differentials on all my other systems and fulls on Fridays. Should I just do a Full once a night and loop the media server in with my differentials?
yes the FULL tape is a completely seperate tape and job. the INCR is from 6 AM to 6 PM and should be overwritten everyday. just a daily incremental to have the most recent backup of the media server. I will try this and let you know how it goes :)
I've found that when you change the policys Overwrite/Append settings and you have one qued you have to cancel the job before the error will go away.
Here is what I'm trying.
Append = 10 Hours
Overwrite = 20 Hours
will this work?
