emulator 1 Report post Posted April 25, 2009 Don't get me wrong on this...I do like Retrospect's script --> backup set philosophy. However, when one has over 50 backup scripts tied to multiple backup sets, things get a bit tedious when adding backup sets to scripts (I've personally had over 40 script windows open at one time). I would like to see a more organized way of doing this; maybe a drag and drop split screen, perhaps? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blm14 8 Report post Posted April 28, 2009 It sounds like your setup may be excessively complex. Why do you have 40 scripts? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
emulator 1 Report post Posted April 28, 2009 (edited) Funny...we had a heating and a/c tech ask us why we were using our air conditioners so much to keep our data centers cool. Sigh. We have several areas that require backups daily, every 12 hours, every hour, and every two hours based on each department's needs. We then have to bump those backups to tape. We then have to groom many of those backup sets. We have multiple weeks of backup tapes that span months. We're complex people :-) Edited April 28, 2009 by Guest Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blm14 8 Report post Posted April 28, 2009 I used to have a setup like that and I just made everything go to the LCM. If I were you, if you have some daily, some 12 hours, and some hourly, then I would just make them all hourly and wash my hands. How many backup servers do you have? Maybe it's time to VM and distribute your junk between multiple actual instances of retrospect... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
emulator 1 Report post Posted April 28, 2009 (edited) With terabytes of data, doing hourly backups of everything is, well, impossible. We just don't have that much storage space. Splitting up to multiple copies of Retrospect is not economically feasible at this time. Edited April 28, 2009 by Guest Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
