RD1000 Backup

[mr2nut123]

When configuring a backup to rotated RD1000 cartridges, do you specify 'this repository is backed by rotated hard drives' on the local hard drive job, or on the RD1000 backup copy job itself?

Also, can you can have the original backup as reversed incrementals?

This setting should be specified on repository level, rather than on a job one.

Correct. Take a look at this KB article, might be useful.

Thanks.

Sorry, that's what I meant. The local hard drive repository (C:\backup) or the RD1000 repository (G:\). Which one would you set the option? To me, it would make more sense to have it on the C:\backup repository as that's the one you are backing up.

p.s. That article link just loops back to this thread. Copy and paste fail..?

RD1000 repository (G:\)

This one.

Exactly. Fixed already, though.

Thanks.

RD1000 repository (G:\)

Hmm.. That sort of reads a bit wrong then doesn't it, as that's not the repository you are backing up, it's the repository you are backing up TO..?

lol, cheers. I'll have a quick read of that link now

The label suggests that a repository resides on rotated drives, which is the exact case for RD1000 repository. So, everything seems to be logical here.

Anyway, glad to hear my input was helpful.
