Thanks for you quick response!<br />

Is there some clever de-dupe feature that can follow your suggestion based off of the dest/target storage sizes I mentioned above? &nbsp;<br />

The latter I am not sure about. We do backups at all our clients with Backup Exec as noted earlier to ensure offsite tapes. But everything fits in a daily tape on our servers.

Backup exec scheduling...<br />
<br />
I have one Windows file server DFS replica to protect, which &nbsp;contains ~4TB of data. &nbsp;I have an 8TB ISCSI volume, which can be expanded up to ~16TB. &nbsp;My goal is to retain at least 60 days worth of backups 2 disk. &nbsp;We have some twitchy users that like to delete and relocate files....<br />
<br />
I was thinking of 1 FULL and 59 incrementals or 2 x (1 FULL /mth and 1 inc /day for 30 days). &nbsp;I'm currently running the trial version, but I've only purchased 1 single Backup exec server license with no agents whatsoever.<br />
<br />
Any recommendations on scheduling?<br />
<br />
Are there better methods I should consider? &nbsp;(ie grandfather, father, child)<br />
<br />
All helpful responses welcome!<br />
<br />
Thanks!<br />

Backup scheduling using backup exec

This topic area includes legacy versions of Windows prior to Windows 2000: Windows 3/3.1, Windows 95 and Windows 98, plus any other Windows-related versions including Windows Mobile.

Windows OS

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.
