I am running a backup up with Brightstor that does a full backup once a week and differential backups. I would like to add a second job that will backup a few servers on a monthly basis. &nbsp;What is the best way to do this? Will I need more than one media pool?

How to set up multiple jobs with Brightstor

The term "Backup" means the methods and processes involved to copy computer data (system data as well as application data) to media other than the ones where the data originally live (disk, tape, optical, cloud). "Restore" in turn means the methods and processes involved in data recovery, i. e., bringing back copied computer data to their original location. Backup/Restore primarily serves as a means of protection against data loss, be it due to disaster, corruption or sabotage. It can also be used for recovering data from an earlier point in time and even for cloning machines or applications. There is a wide variety of backup/restore software available, from expensive commercial products to free or open source tools.
