Hello,
Am trying to backup mulitple volumes of a Dell FS8600 (FluidFS). I am running a full (level 0) dump once a month and level 1-7 on the other days. Because multiple volumes are involed, Netvault creates a stream for each volume. The phase 1 (local backup) runs just fine. However, the secondary copy being sent to our offsite location is giving me issues. I use the Advanced Backup Options to create a Secondary Copy of the data. In the past, when backing up 1 volume per job, the secondary copy would kick off as soon as the primary phase was completed. In the case of these multitple streams that is not the case. If I leave the Schedule Set on the default (cons sched full), the jobs run each day at 16:03 pm. Not sure where the time came from. They do complete successfully. However, I would like to control when they are run. I don't want to guess when the Phase 1 will finish, is there a way to specifiy "as soon as Phase 1 completes? " The other issue I am having is that each of the phase two jobs does not run only one time as the single volume jobs did. Instead, each one is rescheduled to do the same the next day at 16:03, on and on forever. Of course, these all fail.
So, I need a little help with how to schedule the Phase 2 (secondary copy) of the backup at a specific time and for that secondary copy to run only once. All help welcome.
Netvault 11.2, FluidFS 5.0, NDMP Client 10.0.5.12 with service pack v5.82
