Hello, I'm new to Retrospect


Recommended Posts

I have inherited a network without any forth coming information from the previous admin.

I have figured out how to run Retrospect for backups without a manual...(imagine that).

 

I am running revolving sets, one for each day of the week Monday thru Friday.

I write a new script every week, purge the catalogues, and forget the sets.

(realizing that Ican rebuild a catalogue from a snapshot.

 

The Friday tapes are revolving in themselves, 5 tapes, one for each Friday so every Friday sees a new tape so we can look back a month if need be.

 

every day I erase a tape (mon thru thurs) and rename it: "1-Monday A" (for example).

every Friday I name a tape "1-Friday A" which are marked 1 to 5 on a log (and the tape itself).

 

Q: Am I doing good?

Q: Is there a better way?
