Hi Team,
I have a question.
We have one file server and the server size around 25 TB. We have created 2 backup set for daily and monthly. Because the adhoc monthly full backup takes around 25 days to complete so we want incre data on the time so created another backup set called Adhoc_daily and run daily on different storage policy. Both are running to Tape library directly. But the incre backup cycle considering old full for reference. So it there any other way to reconfigure this backup.
Hi
It's not really clear from you topic what your exact challenge is, but the challenge is that the full backup takes 25 days to complete. So to improve RTO you want to create a second backup set that creates incremental copies? In all honesty, but if the backup takes 25 days to complete than I would become pretty scared knowing that your RTO is going to be the same or worse when you are hit by a disaster. I assume it contains valuable data, so can you survive not being able to use this data for at least 25 days? Have you looked what your bottleneck is currently that is causing the backup to take 25 hours. Would it be possible to add a disk copy?
The best practice should be [First Full, following incremental and then change the full schedule to synthetic full]
This is the idle way, since Synthetic backup does not involve server, it only reads the data from media and writes to media, hence give higher throughput and complete the job, also synthetic full are independent of incrementals, so the incremental backup will run during the synthetic full being in process.
Consider Disk-Based Backups: Transition to a disk-to-disk-to-tape (D2D2T) strategy instead of direct tape backups. Disk backups typically offer faster read/write speeds, reducing backup time.
I would assume the best way forward is to adopt backup plans and let the system configure itself automatically ;-)
