TroyL Posted March 11, 2005 Report Share Posted March 11, 2005 Hi guys Can the new Retrospect pro 7 schedule more than a daily backup? I need to run at least one every hour for each work day so thats 10 a day. Thanks for your help TroyL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miketrose Posted March 11, 2005 Report Share Posted March 11, 2005 Yes! "Hours" is now a frequency selection in Retrospect 7 scripts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TroyL Posted March 11, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2005 OK Thanks for your reply I'll have a better look, is it in the manual how to do this ?? I could only see that you can tick off days and what time to start. Any help on this would be great as i have been using Symantec Live State Recovery 3 desktop and it is a lot different to dantz, the problem is that it wants to do a full backup every week and i dont so thats why i want this to work. Thanks again this give me a bit of hope just need a bit more info. TroyL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awnews Posted March 12, 2005 Report Share Posted March 12, 2005 Sounds like you're looking at the "Day of the week" schedule (radio button). Try the Repeating interval instead. BTW, are you sure you *really* want/need to back up every hour? Retrospect can be kind of slow, esp. if you're running snapshots (may not finish that in an hour). Would some sort of real-time mirror work for the immediate data, with Retro then running ever 12 hours or less? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TroyL Posted March 12, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2005 Great stuff i found the repeating interval. So i'll see how long it takes to run it. Will it take that long if it's only incremental backing up ?? Thanks for your imput it's been great. TroyL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awnews Posted March 13, 2005 Report Share Posted March 13, 2005 > Will it take that long if it's only incremental backing up ?? Unfortunately the time to run a snapshot isn't related to running an "incremental" (Normal) backup vs. full (Recycle) backup--it's just based on the total number of files on the HD. Try running any backup and see how long it takes for the whole thing, including the snapshot, and then you can get an idea of how long to need to leave between backups. Note that occasional recycles will take much longer than your frequent normal backups (unless you're running Disk backups with grooming and/or never recycle) so you might want to save recycles for an occasional 2AM run.
