Media set configuration and association
Created: 15 Feb 2012 | 2 comments
Hi,
I have a tape Drive connected to my NAS server,the tape will hold backups for remote agent for windows servers,so I will backup a remote NAS server over WAN,I decided to use Full backups in a monthly biase,and incremental backups every week.
Full size Backups are 500 GB
Incremental are very small in size because they are not changed frequently.
Tape is LTO-4 with 800 GB.
I want to create a media set for this backup job !!! I should chose perfectly the overwrite protection period and append period , so that the Tape can hold the full backup and 4 incremental backups for one month,is it possible ?
Thanks

RE: Media set configuration and association
Striker's suggestion will give you a good overview of media management, and I highly suggest that you read through it
To your specific question:
Define your media set with OPP of 6 days just in case the job ends after midnight and an APP of 29 days - to acount for months with five Fridays (assuming that you run your jobs every Friday)
