SERVERS_A...G

Backup specifications for the company’s servers to prepare for disaster recovery. Each time a new server is installed, or an existing server is upgraded, this backup specification is updated. Schedule the backup specifications such that Data Protector will run full backups as shown in Table 27 on page 327 and level 1 incremental backups every work day.

USERS_D...G

Backup specifications for user data. This is the main production backup at ABC Pretoria and ABC Durban. Schedule the backup specification such that Data Protector will run a weekly full backup as shown in Table 27 on page 327 every Friday and level 1 incremental backups every work day. However, if a full backup is carried out on Friday, then the corresponding level one incremental backups are carried out on weekdays and then on Saturday, skipping Friday.

Table 27 on page 327 shows the backup specification configuration in greater detail.
