I use a script that starts enough backup stg to use all my drives. Then it checks periodically to see how many backups are still running and when enough backups have completed, start the next one, then wait again, until all are done. If I were rewriting it today, I would count and wait on free tape drives rather than counting number of backup processes.
david >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 06/29/05 10:58 AM >>> Hello Everyone! I have an issue of drive shortage and I would like to cascade my backup jobs of my storage pools. I know that you first want to make the disk to offsite tape copy and then the onsite tape to offsite tape copy for each storage pool. My question is, how do I combine all 14 jobs in a cascading order so that they are only using a maximum of 6 drives at a time? I thought about putting them all within a script and running them with wait=yes but I don't think that will give me exactly what I want to do. If anyone has any suggestions I would appreciate the input! Thanks! ******************************** Joni Moyer Highmark Storage Systems Work:(717)302-6603 Fax:(717)302-5974 [EMAIL PROTECTED] ********************************
