Tape Backup

Currently in charge of the tape backup on file server blue:

• Volker Franz (volker.franz@psychol.uni-giessen.de)
• Dirk Neumann (Dirk.Neumann@psychol.uni-giessen.de)

Standard Backup

• A tapes: for weeks 1 and 2 of each month

• B tapes: for weeks 3, 4, and 5 of each month

• There are two (independent) A tapes and two B tapes: A1/A2 and B1/B2 => after two months the same tape is used again.

• Every Monday of the 1st week: insert A tape

• Every Monday of the 3rd week: insert B tape

• Every 6 months do an (extra) full archive

Restore

• Use AllPsychRestore for all files which are newer than 7 days.
• Only for other files use NetVault.
