Daily Append Rotation Type

Pre- and Post-Job Command Execution Page

These changes apply both to:
•
•
They allow you to specify commands for to run before a backup job and on completion of
a backup job. See Chapter 5 for further details.

Barcode Filter Page

This page allows you to define barcode filters for a job. The filter rules may be set for the
whole domain and will be applied automatically to all jobs. Or, they may be set and
applied at job level, using this page. Any filter rules applied at job level overwrite the
default domain settings. See also "Barcode Filters" on page 21.

Copy Policy Page

This page allows you to link a copy job to a backup job or an instance of a backup job.
For example if you want to copy the weekly backup in a rotation set to tape for archiving
you can now specify this as an extension of the backup job properties. See Chapter 4 for
further details.
Daily Append Rotation Type
The Daily Append Rotation Type is added for users with small volumes of data to protect
who would like to use just one piece of media (or media set) per week and have the
protection of being able to take media offsite and recover data from previous weeks. It is
the only rotation type that allows a backup job to be appended to existing media (all other
rotations overwrite the media).
The default setting of this rotation type requires only four media sets; each media set
contains backup data for one week and it is rotated every four weeks. The weekly backup
is a full overwrite of the media used four weeks ago and the daily incremental backups
for that week are appended to the same piece of media. This makes it practical to use a
rotation scheme with stand-alone tape drives. The same piece of media can be used for
each daily backup and the media need only be rotated on a weekly basis.
When you get to the Schedule Job step, in the Backup Wizard, select a Schedule type of
Run repeatedly. You are then able to select the Daily Append rotation type and set up
the run parameters.
