CooperDjm Posted July 7, 2009 Report Share Posted July 7, 2009 I have 2 servers running retrospect 7.6, one has a SDLT Autoloader and one had !!TB Raid Drive. I want to run Proactove 1/day on my File aervers between the hours of 7pm and 7am to the 11TB drive. Then running Proactive Backup set transfers from the 11TB drive to Tape during the hours 7:30am and 6:30 pm. The problems are: 1.I have to share the Retrospect Catalogue file for both servers to see it. 2. I am backing up over 8 TB of data that takes about a week. 3. I can seem to be able to make transfering backupsets proactive. I am sure there are more holes in my idea than I realise, any help/advise would be appreciated.

Lennart_T Posted July 8, 2009 Report Share Posted July 8, 2009 3. I can seem to be able to make transfering backupsets proactive. Why should you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CooperDjm Posted July 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2009 I should have said can't seem to, But I think you got that. Well the reason I would like to, is so that one server backs up Files and folders to disk during the night, then the other server transfers those backups to tape during the day.

Why do you want to do that using proactive scripts? At least the transfer to tape should work perfectly using ordinary scripts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CooperDjm Posted July 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2009 Yes it does, but...I want to be able to allow the 'transfer to tape' to run within the working hours Only, so that the backup to disk can start to run end of day as normal. However because the transfer to Tape is slower than the backup to disk, it would run for much longer in order to complete. And interfere with my backup to disks backups: like this: Retrospect Server 1 Backup Fileservers Proactivly between 7pm and 7am Retrospect Server 2 Transfers Backup set to tape between 7:30am and 6:30pm Each script picks up where it left of the day before....am I barking (mad) up the wrong tree.
