Backup strategy - choosing daily vs. weekly full, daily incrementals, etc.
For a straightforward EV 10 installation with about 10 TB of only File System Archiving data, using the NetBackup agent for EV to backup vault stores, indexes, etc, how do I choose a backup strategy? I've searched this forum, read http://www.symantec.com/business/support/index?page=content&id=TECH172279and DOC4933 and the article: https://www-secure.symantec.com/connect/articles/enterprise-vault-backups-best-practiceand understand the need for and different sources of EV data needingbackups, but I cannot find any good advice on trade-offs between daily fulls, weekly fulls, daily incrementals, etc. Do the trade-offs between various backup strategies (RTO, RPO) that we consider for lets say ordinary file system backups apply equally as much to the EV backups, or is there an advantage - for example - of daily fulls over and above the shorter RTO you generally get with daily full backups (not having to apply daily incrementals to get latest)? I have seen that closed vault stores (and indexes?) should be backed up less frequenly - perhaps a weekly full only - so my question is more around EV 'non-closed' stores/indexes/etc. I realize this may be a complex subject - perhaps we could start with a simple strategy and poke holes in it: Weekly fulls of all EV data Daily differential incremental (NetBackup term for ordinary incremental of changes since yesterday's backup) of active data and SQL databases. Retain perhaps a month's work of weeklies and then retain monthlies until tape copies are made. Thanks.Solved1.7KViews0likes3CommentsEnterprise Vault HTTP-only Add-In tab disappears -- Outlook 2010

Using EV agent for BE 2010 R3, we do weekly Full backups and daily Differentials. All backups complete succesfully.
