We are now able to present our data to the 3 x NW6.5 backup servers and
the backups work. We still have an issue, however.....
During the week we take 3 snapshots each day and each one overwrites
the previous one. In addition, we also take a snapshot each evening
which is kept for 7 days with exception to the snapshot we take on
Fridays which is kept for 5 weeks.
After the final Friday snapshot, we run a full backup to tape. All
works fine except that as the backups progress, the size of Friday
snapshots increases. Towards the end of our backup window, this has
caused our HP EVA 8100 to run out of space (which in turn, dismounts
the snapshot volumes).
We suspect the snapshots increase because of the archive bit being set
but can't see any way around performing a full backup without resetting
the archive bit.
Has anyone seen anything similar to this and know of a fix?
Thank you.
