Re: How to backup 150GB data to harddisk?
Thank you. I am quite new to Backup Exec. I am not quite clear about Maximum size for backup-to-disk files that AmolZeroCool suggest for 20-30GB. My data is 150GB, how it can fit into 20-30GB size? Does it mean that each BKF file is 30GB, if the backup data reach 30GB then it creates another BKF file, something like part01.rar, part02.rar, part03.rar, part04.rar? I first tried set 10GB for Maximum size for backup-to-disk files and it failed.834Views0likes0CommentsHow to backup 150GB data to harddisk?
[SPECS] - Windows 2008 Enterprise Server R2 - Backup Exec 2010 R3 - Two internal SATA harddisks for 1TB each. I have 150GB of data and it still growing. I need to back up to local harddisk. I need guideline. I have two harddisks: one harddisk for Drive C and D (system and data), another one for E (backup of drive C and D) The backup strategy plan I want to create is two rotation every 2 weeks: 1st week: Sat - FULL BACKUP (First backup rotation) 2nd week: Sun, Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu, Fri - INCREMENTAL BACKUP (First backup rotation) 2nd week: Sat - FULL BACKUP (Second backup rotation) 3rd week: Sun, Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu, Fri - INCREMENTAL BACKUP (Second backup rotation) 3rd week: Sat - FULL BACKUP (Overwrite first backup rotation) 4th week: Sun, Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu, Fri - INCREMENTAL BACKUP (Overwrite first backup rotation) 4th week: Sat - FULL BACKUP (Overwrite second backup rotation) For the above strategy, I understand the limitation of Backup Exec schedule is not able to rotate every 2 weeks. So I use windows task scheduler to run every 2 weeks by running bemcmd.exe How to create the above backup strategy plan? My questions: 1) What is the size do I need to set for Maximum size for backup-to-disk files? 2) What is the number do I need to set for Maximum number of backup sets per backup-to-disk file? 3) How many media sets do I need to create? 4) For each media set I create, how long should I set for Overwrite protection period and Append period? 5) As I backup to harddisk, what is the use of Retension media before backup? 6) How many jobs do I need to create to fulfil the above strategy? 7) What are the jobs? Which full backup using which media? Which incremental backup using which media? Much appreciate if anyone can answer in detail. Thanks & Regards, Hasan
