Configuring NSR-ORA

However if you require irregular snapshot backups (e.g. only during the working hours) then you must create different groups depending the different snapshot backups.

●One group for the tape backup (daily of every n days).

There are some basic rules to follow for the groups controlling the backup cycle:

Be careful to provide a sufficient delay between the tape backup and the next pure snapshot backup. If the snapshot backups is stated while the tape backup is still running, the snapshot backup is skipped (i.e. the snapshot backup will not be performed).

On the other hand if a tape backup is started while NSR-ORA is still running a snapshot backup then the tape backup will be paused and resumed again after the snapshot backup is finished.

If a tape backup cannot be finished because of missing tapes, no further snapshot backup will be performed. So take care to provide a sufficient amount of tapes for the tape backup. Please take note of all messages from NetWorker informing you that a new tape is needed for (the completion of) the backup and react as soon as possible allowing NetWorker to perform all scheduled backups (tape and snapshot backups) as planned.

For the groups the following additional settings are necessary:

●Interval attribute

The Interval attribute should be set to a value between 1 and 24 hours. Thus you can perform a snapshot backup regularily, e.g. every 4 hours.

If NetWorker should only perform a few backups per day, then for every start time a separate group can be created. In this case the Interval parameter is not used. Scheduling more backups during a day the Interval parameter saves configuration effort since in this case you may use only two groups.

The Interval and Level (see below) attributes are so called hidden attributes. For additional information see the Fujitsu Siemens Computers manual NetWorker V6.0: Installing, Configuring and Operating.

●Level attribute

This attribute allows setting the backup level of a group to a fixed value.
