I've a LTO9 library, a NAS with 80+TB of Video EEG (LTM) data, and i need to
backup them.
This is an 'archive', organized as:
Storage
Storage/Folder1
Storage/Folder2
...
where roughly every year a new 'FolderX' get created. Exams go only on the
latest FolderX, when a 'FolderX' get created, 'Folder(X-1)' became archive
and get not modified anymore.
Because is an archive, it suffices to to a single backup, so i suppose to
build a pool with some tapes with infinite or so retention, doa full, and
then every year (every a new 'FolderX' get created) do an incremental.
But the fist full will take probably some weeks to complete...
I can build a fileset that list Storage/Folder1, do a backup, then add
Storage/Folder2 and so on... but every time i change fileset backup get
resetted to full, i suppose.
Someone have some hints on how can i handle this? Thanks.
Is there a reason you can't simply back up /Storage? Is there anything
under /Storagen that you DON'T want backed up? Can you make that job
use a Fileset that excludes the directories under /Storage that you
don't want to back up?
Is there a reason not to make each folder its own Job, in which only the
newest will ever see any significant backup data volume? This avoids
the problem of the first full backup taking a very long time to run.
Each year you create a new folder and generate a new read-only archive.
There's probably multiple ways to approach this problem, but it doesn't
sound difficult.
