Hej, I'd like to build a schedule for the following scenario: - 3 tapes for a full backup once a week (WEEKLY), say friday evening - 2 tapes each for incremental backups of one week (DAILY); e.g. monday to thursday evening The DAILYs should be changed every week, not regarding the number jobs that are already written on them. I mean it should not matter if all jobs worked fine in the previous week. I already got a schedule to do this, but the problem is that if one job failes in the previous week and the "max volume job = 4" the tape from the previous week is required for the following monday as well. Is there a possibility to solve this problem on a just "changing week-by-week"-base, or do I have to write a schedule for every week of the year?
It's probably better to use the "Volume Use Duration" setting in the pool definition (and update your existing tapes...). If you set this to, for example, 6 days, when the first job per tape starts on monday evening, the tape will not be used after saturday evening.
Thanks for any answer,
This becomes a FAQ, I think. We should take Phil's detailed answer and put it into the manual. :-)
