Hi List, we've to plan a backup, which cause some "headache"...
To backup 2 TB of data. The data/tapes should be available for 15 years. Full backup every sunday, inc daily. In my opion it' s no good idea to set the retention time to 15 years. That will blow up the database and will "kill" the perfomance. I thought I will set the retention time to 30 days (or max 90 days). If needed, I will import the tapes again. But the experience of restores shows some strange memories of our clients... For example I had to restore a very important file, which was used nearly every day... but this files was delete more than 30 days before the loss was detected. I can't belief that there will be clear instructions and details in case of a restore. Something like once upon a time ... Do you have any experience or ideas to handle such a backup with "minimal" effort and "maximum" satisfaction on both sides (operator and client)?
