Hi,
I have backup specification that will be scheduled to run full backups on Fridays and Incremental backups on Monday to Thursday. Backup target is deduplicated storage. I want to copy the backups to LTO media, but only the full backups from Friday. The only option I found is to setup automated scheduled object copy that will be started after the full backup ends and set appropriate timeframe to pick backups from Friday. But this is fragile.
(1) Lets say that the full backup is usually finished by Saturday 7:00 AM. It means that I can scheduled the object copy on Sat 12:00 am to give it enough time when it takes longer. The started within will be 36 hours and duration will be 24 hour to pick any backup from Friday. I could still happen that object copy may start while the full backup is still running and it will either fail or will not do what it should do
(2) In the case that the full backup is not run on Friday for whatever reason, the object copy will miss it.
What I need instead of scheduled object copy is post backup object copy that will allow me to filter only full backups. This is not possible with DP. Do I miss something? I can start the object copy as post backup action, but I have no idea how I can get session type and only start the object copy when session type was full backup.
Kind regards, Jan
