Delphi Posted March 26, 2004 Report Share Posted March 26, 2004 OKay, I am new to Retrospect and I have question od setting up my retrospect. Okay, I have Retrospect 6.0 for Windows 2000 server. I also have 3 sets of backup tape. Each set has 5 tapes I label as below: Set 1: Monday 1, Tuesday 1, Wednesday 1, Thursday 1, Friday 1 Set 2: Monday 2, Tuesday 2, Wednesday 2, Thursday 2, Friday 2 Set 3: Monday 3, Tuesday 3, Wednesday 3, Thursday 3, Friday 3 Now, how do I setup with EasyScript to back up my local filesto each tape according to the day of the week? let's start from Monday of week 1 to Friday of Week 1, then next week which is week 2 then it backs up to tapes of Set 2 and so on to tapes of set 3. After all tapes of set 3 are backed up, then it goes back to tapes of set 1 and continuously in the cycle like that. What do I need to do with the Backup Set in Retrospect? Please give me some hints. Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmyJ Posted March 26, 2004 Report Share Posted March 26, 2004 Hi - You'll need to make 15 backup sets - one for each tape. Then make a single script, and add all 15 sets as "Destinations." The schedule will dictate which set is used on a given day. For example: Every 3 weeks starting on March 29, backup to Monday 1 Every 3 weeks starting on March 30, backup to Tuesday 1 etc... Every 3 weeks starting on April 5, backup to Monday 2 Every 3 weeks starting on April 6, backup to Tuesday 2 etc... Every 3 weeks starting on April 12, backup to Monday 3 Every 3 weeks starting on April 13, backup to Tuesday 3 etc... The end result is that you will have: 1 Script 15 Backup Set Destinations 15 schedules within your script Be sure to set the start dates appropriately to avoid overlap.
