ken2369 Posted March 20, 2002 Report Share Posted March 20, 2002 I have a two week rotation of tapes. I set up the 5 day rotation in the manual. But when the second week hit, the system stopped during the night. I tried to start it manually and it began asking for the tape from the previous week. I realize that I need a 10 day rotation. Any suggestions on the proper way to set this up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darrick Posted March 24, 2002 Report Share Posted March 24, 2002 You have 2 backup sets: A & B. Week 1 uses A then Week 2 uses B, and they alternate between themselves every week. I take it you made a Monday through Friday schedule for set A. If you set the interval to 2, it will ask for the tape set every 2 weeks. Setup a schedule for backup set B the same way except change the starting date for 1 day after backup set A completes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DPKilleen Posted March 24, 2002 Report Share Posted March 24, 2002 Is the 10 day rotation set in stone? I've always done a full backup once a month, and an incremental once a week. I don't need, or want to back up any more than that. David Killeen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darrick Posted March 25, 2002 Report Share Posted March 25, 2002 Nope. you could rotate whatever you like. For 1 complete and the rest incrementals, you'd just use 1 backup set. On each 1st of the month you will recycle, then normal backup to the current tape(s) until the next 1st. You could also reverse it and recycle on the last day of the month.
