Thanks everyone for the help. I have a solution, but it's not along the lines suggested. The real problem here is we have 1 pool for all the backups going back years. Disturbing that pool, as we've seen, causes data already backed up to be backed up again. So I am approaching it differently, and probably the way it should have been at the start - don't have 1 eternal pool. Since these are CCTV backups, I plan now to have a separate pool for every 6 months. Then when/if the online files move, we make sure only 6 months worth go, so in effect the pool can be recreated as for us that's only 4 tapes.
I hope this proves useful for someone else in future. +---------------------------------------------------------------------- |This was sent by bill.dam...@yahoo.com via Backup Central. |Forward SPAM to ab...@backupcentral.com. +---------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Monitor Your Dynamic Infrastructure at Any Scale With Datadog!
