Well, not everyone has long enough tapes to always do full backups ;-)
After all the whole concept of Inc and Diff backups didn't come from
nothing.

Hi,
Another possibility is not to spool and not to backup incremental nor
differential jobs.
For restoring speed and for your tape health it is better to always do
full backups, especially if you have no autochanger.
I deleted all jobs which do no full backup.
I did the configuration in a way, that once a month it asks me to
change the tape and this for each job. In this way I do a full backup
twice in a year of each job by manipulating tapes only once per month.
This is for me an easy way to handle the tapes.
The job tells me to insert cartridge 1 and as soon it is inserted, the
job continues automatically. One month later it asks me for cartgidge
2 and so on.
Let me know if you are interested to know how to configure such a
handling.
Regards,
Birgit

Hi there,
this is my schedule set:
Schedule {
Name = "CR-WeeklyCycle"
Run = Level=Full 1st sun at 7:00
Run = Level=Differential 2nd-5th sun at 7:00
Run = Level=Incremental mon-sat at 7:00
}
The backup is stored on a LTO tape, changed manually - no autoloader.
Looking on the schedule, a tape of the increment pool is insert on
Saturday morining.
When now a differential or full backup is started, it checks first if
the right tape is insert.
So I have do by manpower, that the right tape is available before the
backup starts.
All backup jobs like inc, diff and full have spooling active.
Is there a way, that the nackups starts, and spools also if the wring
tape is insert and after changing to the right tape, the despooling
process starts or must I split it each backup in two jobs: copy to
hdd and then to tape?
Thanks for any useful hints, Frank
