Backup Exec 2010 / Windows 2008R2 Server - Best strategy for 2 different media supports
Hello,
I am using BE 2010 (v13.00 rev 2896 x64) installed on W2008R2 file server.
1 - I am backing up users data to another partition on the same server based on full monthly backup with weekly and daily backup (grandfather father son rotation scheme)
2 - I am ALSO backing up users data to a removable HDD (Dell RD 1000 1Tb Media ) based on full monthly backup with weekly and daily backups (grandfather father son rotation scheme) .
Backup policies are different but selections are the same (ie always backing up user data folder)
My current problem is ; If the full monthly backup of the 2nd step is done after the full monthly backup of step 1, the backup size of step 2 is getting very small.
Logically both full backups size must be the same
Any idea ?
Thanks

I'm not sure I completely follow, but here's a couple thoughts. Are you doing a Copy backup job to the external hard drive, or are you using completely separate jobs for that process? If you're using option 2, are you using compression on one of them and not the other?

I am doing completely separate jobs and no compression on any of the options.
