I've just added up the amount of space required by running estimates on
all my windows jobs. I was a touch should when it totaled up to just
over 1TB. Now this is clearly too much data to synchronise offsite, so
I am seriously considering how to reduce the footprint of all my
servers, because seriously, it's pointless to use all my bandwith for
backups.
Now, using a portable HD, would be find, and I surly would not mind a
weekly round trip to the other side of the planet, so long as I flew
with enough leg room, bandwith, and I could take my GF with me, that'll
be great. (so, I'm basically saying, it's not fine to use a portable
drive!).
I'm come to two conclusions, one that I have to tighten up my file sets,
or make use of Base Jobs
Currently my file sets are
FileSet {
Name = CDE-Windows
Include {
File = C:/
File = D:/
File = E:/
Options {
}
}
}
So, I'm aware that I'm umm, over doing it at the moment! Which is why I
looked at base jobs. Now, it would be great to no longer backup the OS,
or have any of the OS files in my backup, but I worry what will happen
when my base job expires, will that not make all the jobs impossible to
restore? Any clues, hints, and tips are most welcome.
