I just want to make sure I understand how this is supposed to work before I do something that might cause me to lose backups.
Suppose I take a full backup for a couple of clients to a backup pool. Then I successfully run a copy job which copies these to an archive pool. Am I correct in assuming that, if I now delete the original backup jobs, any volumes in the backup pool that contain only files from the deleted jobs will be marked Purged and be available for re-use? And that the copy jobs will now be marked as backups and I would be able to restore files from those jobs from the volumes in the archive pool? That's what I want to happen; I want to be able to delete jobs that I have archive copies of, to free up space in the backup pool, but still be able to restore files from the archived jobs. (The backup pool is always online so that I can schedule backups 24x7, the archive pool is much larger, and uses removable drives that are only connected while in use, so they can't be taken out by a power surge etc. and can be stored off site to guard against total disaster). --Greg ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ October Webinars: Code for Performance Free Intel webinars can help you accelerate application performance.
