7d5ac8e0-185c-4847-b471-916b2ab3b5dd Posted August 4, 2011 Report Share Posted August 4, 2011 Hello, I administer backups for an audio-video post-production house and am looking into using Retrospect as our backup solution. Currently, we run a full backup of our data store at the beginning of every month, followed by daily incremental backups. Full backups are maintained off-site and incremental backups are kept on-site. I'd like Retrospect to use one media set for full backups and another for incremental changes only. In more explanation, the incremental media set should *only* contain files changed or added to the data store since the last full backup. Is this possible?

Lennart_T Posted August 4, 2011 Report Share Posted August 4, 2011 Is this possible? No, it isn't. The closest you could get is using one media set and more than one member. First do a recycle (or new media) backup. After the backup finishes, take the members off site. When the first "normal" backup runs, add a new member. (A "member" is a tape for tape media sets or a hard drive for disk media sets.) Tip: Use at least two media sets (every other month each) so you don't wipe out all your backups at the start of the month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
