BackupExec10d - Command before Job Starts
Hello,
i want to make some Backup Rotation on my NAS i created following Directorys on it
Monday
Tuesday
Wednesday
Thursday
Friday
I created the Jobs with Back 2 Disk in Backup Exec 10d SP4 - work fine.
The Problem is the Backup doesnt delete the old Stuff in the Directory. So i try to do Command before Job start. I created a Script
net use x: \\nas\directory (Day Directory)
del /q x:\*
net use x: /d
so the Day Directory is Emtpy and i got only the actual Data in it. But when the Job starts it chanced. The Scripts starts, deleted the old Stuff created the first new entrys and then chanced.
Error Msg:
Reading Data from Medium
The Job without the Command before Start Batch works fine. Is there another Way to do this with BackupExec10d?
Many Thanks
Best Regards
HWB

BackupExec10d - Command before Job Starts
In the properties of your job, on the device and media tab, what is the job set to do to the media? Is it set to Overwrite, Append if no appendable media is available overwrite, or Append if no media is available fail? If it is set to either of the append options this could be causing the issue as to why your files are being overwritten. Change the job to Overwrite and verify that your Media set is configured for the correct time frame so you don't accidentally delete a backup.
