Re: Monthly backup setup

You would have to do one of 2 things, with the possibility of a 3rd

 

   - You would have to have a seperate backup for the media that you want to go to a seperate set of tapes, and, in the Destination tab, use a media pool set specifically for this type of backup

   - You would have to have a seperate backup for the media that you want to go to a seperate set of tapes, in the destination tab, choose Mirror to send a seperate set fo backup data to a different device. Again, you would need a seperate media pool for this

  - If you are backing up to disk you could do an Object Copy to tape, but, it does not look like you are backing up to disk

 

You may also want to un-automate this, and use 'omnirpt' to find out what media was used, and move it to a seperate media pool.  You would need to find out the session ID of the backup, and run

 

   omnirpt -report session_media -session [session_id] -log [path to output file]

 

so, for example

 

   omnirpt -report session_media -session 2014/03/12-1 -log c:\temp\12-1_media.txt

 

If you want it to look pretty, you can add '-html' argument, and give the filename a 'htm' extension

 

  omnirpt -report session_media -session 2014/03/12-1 -html -log c:\temp\12-1_media.htm

 

You can also run

 

   omnirpt -report used_media -timeframe [start] [duration/finish] -datalist [backup specification name] -tab -log c:\temp\12-1_media.txt

 

The '-tab' makes it suitable for import into Excell 

 

Let suppose that your backup is call Month End, the backup normally starts at 10pm, and takes 5 hours, and you want to check it for media used  Sunday, Feb 23

 

   omnirpt -report used_media -timeframe 2014/02/2309:45 2014/02/24 04:00 -datalist "Month End"

   -log c:\temp\Feb_mothend_media.txt  The " marks are needed because the backup specification has a 'space' in it (never a good idea)

 

This is configurable in the gUI to run automatically, but because the schedule can change, I favor running it interactively
