j.a.duke Posted June 8, 2020 Report Share Posted June 8, 2020 Would this be better than a direct-to-cloud backup in terms of performance? I understand that you stage to disk to minimize the delays in getting data to the tape drive and to maximize the capacity of the tape. I was thinking that it might be better if the cloud upload occurred off-hours (like 2100-0700) rather than during the normal workday. Has anyone done this and, if so, have any comments/suggestions? Thanks. Cheers, Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lennart_T Posted June 8, 2020 Report Share Posted June 8, 2020 What will you be backing up? A laptop that might not be connected for la long time? Then a disk-to-disk-to-could backup would be good. A server idling anyway during the night? Then direct to cloud is easiest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My primary concern is laptops that are off-site currently, so sounds like D2D2C would be better. Cheers, Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lennart_T Posted June 8, 2020 Report Share Posted June 8, 2020 I suggest you try a proactive script for laptops. That script will poll for the presence of any laptop on the network and start the backup as soon as it is available. https://www.retrospect.com/en/documentation/user_guide/mac/operations#proactiveai-backup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
