Rotation Details

Initial Rotation Job

The initial rotation job is always at the highest level. This is the instance of a job with the
longest retention period. In the Daily Append example, the backup job will automatically
schedule and configure the Weekly Set 1 Rotation to run first and back up the data to the
Weekly Set 1 Media folder. You can see which set is scheduled next in the Next rotation
set column or in the Details pane.
In the following example there are three scheduled jobs, two of which also have a copy
policy defined. See Chapter 4 for more information about defining a copy policy.
TIP: If the Next rotation set column is not displayed in the Detail pane, right click in the
column heading and select it from the pull-down list.

Rotation Sets

The next and current rotation sets are listed in the info pane of a selected backup job, and
as columns in the Detail view. These fields are updated each time the schedule property is
updated. The next rotation set is calculated at the end of a backup job, only if the job was
run by the scheduler or from the Run next schedule command. It is never advanced if it
is run manually, using the Run command.
If you have created a copy policy as part of the backup job, the copy sets are also listed.
See Chapter 4 for more information about copy policy.
