Off Site Backups Advice needed
Hi,
I am looking for some advice on how to deal with offsite backups, but with the following potential points that are currently preventing me to perform this fairly simple task
- All Acronis backups are stored on a LAN based file storage
- Some machines backup daily, others weekly, others quarterly.
- Some backup plans are GFS, and others are only Full
- The network is air-gapped so online off-site or cloud options are out of the question
- The preferred method currently for transferring files are by rotating two 2TB USB drives between the locations. (Data is not sensitive)
- All online backups and historical backups occupy about 4TB of space on the online storage.
- Off site, I only want to store the latest full backup, plus all the incrementals and differentials since the last full backup.
How can I easily perform this backup of TIB files, either using a batch script or using another acronis backup plan without compression enabled.
Can I simply parse the filenames to do this, and has anyone else done this before to prevent me from having to re-invent the wheel here. It seems all files have unique suffixes, but I'm not sure what they mean.
Any advice would be appreciated
Thanks
Jacques
Thanks, this helps a tremendous lot as a step in the right direction!
I seem to have a problem with that script where it only exports the very first backup and then get's stuck in the while loop because for some reason the acrocmd command never finishes up.
var shell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell");
var execObj = shell.exec("cmd /c "+ cmd);
while(!execObj.Status) {
WScript.sleep(100);
}
Update the product to the latest version (Acronis Backup 11.5 Update 6) and try again. If it does not help, create support ticket please.
