Hi everyone,
I'm backing on my servers and only have space for one full backup + weekly incrementals on our our primary MMS server. We DeDupe the data to a secondary MMS server that allows for Full backups + incrementals to be retained for 4 weeks.
In previous versions of BUE we'd set our B2D media to expire after 24 hours, so that the next full backup could overwrite the .BKF files. However, with BUE 15 and DLM I cannot see a why to achieve this without having DLM actually going ahead and delete the data.
So whilst all my backups are duplicated to DeDupe storage, at the moment I image there is a small period where technically it does not contain a full backup.
...is my understanding correct here?
For 1 Full weekly backup plus dialy incrementals, what 'Keep For' period should I set? Should it be 167 hours for both the full and incrementals (ie, retain the data for one full week minus one before the next fulls are due to run)?
Thanks in advance
Danny
