Hi everyone,
I'm quite new to Backup Exec, and have a question regarding
we are using Veritas Backup Exec 9.1.
The previous Backup Admin somehow had Backup Exec set up to perform full (normal) backups every Thurs evening based on the data backed up in our quarterly backup (which backs up everything). We also do Differential backups Mon > wed and Fri.
Our external IT Consultant has informed me that this is a feature of Backup Exec but cannot remember how it is done.
I'm not sure if this was the way the system was set up, however, our normal (weekly) backups used to be around 30GB wheras now they are 63GB. THis is causing me to have to continue the backup in the morning by changing our tapes over as they only hold 40GB uncompressed.
Is there a way to do this?
Any help would be appreciated. And I apologise in advance if this post doesn't make sense.
Andy
