Hi guys,
We currently run back-up Exec 2012 to run a full tape back-up of a couple of our servers each night. The problem we have at present however is that the job takes around 12 hours am some times is still running when users arrive the next day.
Iv'e considered changing the back-ups to incremental/ differential, however I believe a full back-up each night is still the best approach for our business.
Quite abit of our data has not been accessed for some time, so one idea I have had is to decrease the time a full back-up takes, by only backing-up data accessed within a certain time period, but my question is - is there a better way of decreasing the time a full back-up takes? If not, what's the best way to archive off old data from a file server?
Kind regards
