Hi,
Just looking for some support or advice about the Disk to Tape backups using object copy.
We currently have a D2D backup solution and have separate jobs to do monthly D2T. Sometimes they overlap causing issues due to various reasons and just doubling the workload of the servers.
Looking at using the omniobjcopy command to trigger the D2T (copy from last full complete job). I've looked at the automated features within the GUI and found some potential flaws:
Post Backup:
Run after all D2D jobs so don't think this will help to configure monthly jobs to tape.
Scheduled:
If a job is scheduled for an incremental just before the job runs I’ll have an incremental which is useless for restoring.
I would like to run a command like below to run a complete copy of all the objects in the session to tape, I’ve experimented with objects but feel they may be a better way to achieve this or missing a parameter:
Omniobjcopy.exe –session 2014/08/28-01 –sourcedevice d2d_writer0 –targetdevice d2t_tape0
Any input will be welcome.
Thanks
Sean
