Copy Job Intervals

[vlb]

Hi Guys

Firstly, i have searched and read about this on these forums but am still struggling to understand the concept.

I have setup copy jobs to copy data off to our storeonce.

The plan is to copy 4 x weekly fulls and 12 x monthly full. Pretty simple requirements can you please sense check this for me.

This is how i have it set up,

Copy data every 7 days



Mapped to the job i want to copy



This is where i suspect i have made a mistake, I am not to clear on the number of restore points here and their role if i am only taking fulls as weeklys and monthlies.



Everything else is defaults.

Thanks in advance for your time

Hi Martyn,

Overall your settings look correct.

What kind backup method is used for the primary backup job? What retention do you have there?

Mapping is a bit different thing. I guess you meant that you linked copy job to backup one.
Thanks!

Hey

the original source backup jobs are incrementals with a 25 day retention. Backed up to another storeone

Thanks for the reply.
That should work as expected.

Would you not need to copy every day, in order to make sure you got the weekly full?
GFS would still apply policy: 4 weeklies, 12 monthlies

You don't need to copy every day. I noticed that you enabled Retention Policy for Active Full Archive Backups option.
Here is a description how it willl work.
