2 NAS devices alternatively daily

Postby Fritz » Sat Oct 21, 2006 11:04 pm

I like to install two NAS devices that are used alternately daily, eg.
monday=NAS1
tuesday=NAS2
wednesday=NAS1
thursday=NAS2
friday=NAS1
saturday=NAS2

Is it possible to setup BackupAssist like this?

Thanks
Fritz

Hi Fritz,

Thanks for your post, this is Andrew from BackupAssist support.

If you are only wanting to run backups from Monday-Saturday, then the best way to achieve what you are after is to setup two separate jobs. The first job is setup to run Monday, Wednesday and Friday to NAS1 (using the custom rotation scheme), and the second to run Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday to backup to NAS2.

The only other way to do this is via some scripting, but it would require you to store the backup in a staging area before moving it to the required location.

I hope this helps, but please let me know if you have any questions.
Andrew

I´ll try it with two separate jobs and will let you know if it works.
Thanks, Fritz
