Conf 2nd repositori

Post by adrianIDC »

Hi!
He was watching I have many HDD 2TB serving as backup repository for my infrastructure.
I need to set a task to be performed on the repostorie A for 1 week and Repository B for another week.

You can make this configuration in the same job or you should create two jobs ( one job for each repository ) ?

If you can rotate disks, you can go with a single job provided repository path doesn't change. Make sure you enable the corresponding setting in the repository settings.

Yes...

I have 2 repositories ( HDD 2TB USB, A and B )
Launched a backup job repository for tasks to be performed Monday- Wednesday - Friday, for example to Repositori A

But I want the Tuesday-Thursday perform the same task , but in the repository B.


To this I should create two backup job ? Or I can do it from the first backup job or I need create 2 Backup Job (one backup job to one repository)

As I've mentioned above, you can do it with a single job pointed to a single backup repository backed by rotated drives.

Ok , it is clear to me .

One last question that arises is whether it is possible to indicate that a backup job Begin the first copy within 1 week and from that day makes them all week .

Example
I backup job and I told him to begin next Thursday (full backup) , Friday ( incremental) , Saturday ( incremental) , Domingo ( incremental) , Monday ( incremental) , Tuesday ( incremental) , Wednesday ( incremental)

Rather than indicating that the following Thursday to do a new task, the do the following week .

Mm, not sure I'm getting it... Do you want to delay the first job run so that it does not start the upcoming Thursday but rather a week later?

Yes foggy...

II create the backup job now but do not start up within a week.
When it starts work for 7 days and stop to work the next 7 days .

If you need to connect to the console Veeam B & R during each week and enable or disable the backup jobs :cry:

Ah, so you mean the scenario with two jobs writing to different repositories, right? This can be achieved with the help of scripting via Windows Task Scheduler or pre-job script checking whether the job is allowed to run on specific day.

HOW could create that script and noted in Veeam B & R ...in writing and programming I find little knowledge.
The script would :
First Week and the third Every month , the repository A

The second and fourth week the repository B
