Why use level 1 incremental backups?

To restore the latest data, only two media sets need to be accessed, one for the latest full backup and one for the latest level 1 incremental backup prior to the restore point-in-time. This simplifies and speeds up restore considerably.

ENG2_BS

Backup specification for data in the English Department to be backed up remotely to the HP StorageWorks DLT 4115w Library. Schedule the backup specification such that Data Protector will run a full backup every Friday and level 1 incremental backups every day, except Sunday at 20:00.

OTH_BS

Backup specification for data in the Other Languages Department to be backed up remotely to the HP StorageWorks DLT 4115w Library. Schedule the backup specification such that Data Protector will run a full backup every Saturday at 20:00 and level 1 incremental backups every day, except Sunday at 20:00.

ADM_BS

Backup specification for data in the Admin Department to be backed up remotely to the HP StorageWorks DLT 4115w Library. Schedule the backup specification such that Data Protector will run a full backup every Sunday at 20:00 and level 1 incremental backups every day, except Saturday at 20:00.

DB_BS

Backup specification for the IDB and configuration files. Schedule the backup specification such that Data Protector will run a full backup every day at 4:00. At this time, other full and incremental backups would be completed and there would be no CPU resource sharing problem between the Cell Manager and other client systems. Two copies of the database should be made.

Backup options

Use default Data Protector backup options. Set the following options as follows:

Catalog Protection

Catalog protection sets the amount of time that the Data Protector Catalog Database stores information about backed up versions, information about the number of backed up files and directories, and messages stored in the database. Once catalog protection expires the browsing of files and directories using the Data Protector GUI is no longer possible. Set catalog protection to 20 days.
