same client, different save set

[cippirimerlo]

Hi, this is my question:
I have 1 client (is a w2k server) that I need to backup in two separate pool, each with different save set. I need to backup almost everything with certain criteria to a pool(daily incremental and 1 full a week) and 1 directory (containing actually 90 GB) of the same client to another pool (incremental). Is it possible to automate it ?

Sure, just create/modify the pools as follows:

1. Pool's criteria (full)
client : your_client_name
save set: your_save_set_name
level : full

2. Pool's criteria (incremental)
client : your_client_name
save set: your_save_set_name
level : incr

A few things to consider:
- If you use the existing pool Full, do not forget to enable it.
Unfortunately, you may even label media for this pool although it will not
accept any data during the backup ;-))
- You must specify a backslash for the save set twice, expample:
D:\\level_1\\level_2\\level_3 ...
Otherwise the pool will not catch the data.
- If you run incrementals, do not forget that NW will backup the indexes
with level 9. With the scenario shown above, these will then go to another
pool or Default, depending on your configuration.
- If you want to collect all index and bootstrap backups to a separate pool
(a good idea in preparation for a DR scenario), you should setup
another pool with this criteria:

3. Pool's criteria (index & bootstrap backups)
client :
save set: index
bootstrap
level :

This is already sufficient.

Good luck.

Yes. You have to create a new client with the same name and the same client-id (just copy-paste it from the original client). in the new client you've just created add the special save-set for backup, and now define a group/pool/schedule and other settings as you need - it's a total different client, but the indexes will reside under one place.
I hope that this is what you've asked for.

If a client already exists, NW will automatically assign the same client id.
