Backup Advanced 11.7 - Plan Sequence and Backup dates

Thread needs solution

Hello,

I´m currently setting up several backup plans with Advanced Backup 11.7 on a server.

I have 2 quesions:

a) Sequencing
I know, that a plan is delayed until the previous plan is completed.
So what I intend to do is, that the start times of the backup plans differ by e.g. 5 minutes and by that I have the desired sequence and the plans run back-to-back.

Do I understand this correct ?

b) Backup Date
In the archive view, the backups have a date (by which I can also select the versions that I want to have restored in the restore process).
Some of the upper mentioned plans have a GFS scheme.

I´m now wondering, what date is used in the backup view.
Is it the date and time of the planned backup, the real start time or the real finish time.

I ask this because some of the backup plans are planned to start before midnight.
And if they are delayed due to a prior running plan they may start after midnight or are finished after midnight.

And if I must do a restore of a file "wednesday 3 weeks ago" this might be confusing if the backup date is thursday because it was delayed or finished after midnight.

Regards

Sven

Hey,

no information on these basic issues?
Or are the questions too dumb to be asked?

 

S.

Hello.

a) The second plan will wait until the first one is completed and will start right after.

b) Backup date is plan's finish time.

Thanks a lot for the responses.

If I schedule the backup plans with a difference of 5 minutes I can create a sequence.

But I think I remember, that I get some warnings that a plan must wait.
Is this correct?

Can I suppress this warning as it is a situation by incident and not by accident.
An Option "warning only if task is delayed for longer than xxx hours would be perfect for this..."

No. If one plan needs to wait for other in order to start, there will be no warnings in logs or in plan status because of it.
