Backup To Disk using Backup Exec

  • Create a folder on the disk for each day
  • Create a removable backup to disk folder for each of them, in Backup Exec
  • Create a media set, with the overwrite protection to 4 days, if using 1 tape per day.
  • In Tools, Options, Media Management, set to overwrite scratch media first.

The Advanced Disk Backup option gives you the following:

Synthetic Backups - You do a full backup and then incremental dailys or however often you choose, then at whatever interval, you can combine them into a full backup. The creation of full backups occurs on the media server only. This minimises impact on the servers CPU/disk/network/etc. (more info: EE Q23007467)
