Tape • Re: GFS weekly full - which day is right if scan time is 00:00?

Hello Renato

If you want to have your weekly full on Saturday at 00:00, you need to set the GFS weekly to Saturday.
Make sure that the source job has created a full backup before the daily scan starts for the GFS restore point starts. If the last backup from the source job was an incremental backup, a virtual full backup will be created.

I recommend to schedule this full Friday evening and set the daily rescan to the time when the source job has finished its processing. Example:
--> Source job creates every Friday a full backup from 10pm till 2am.
--> Set the daily GFS rescan for Tapes to 3am. The tape will write the full backup from Friday evening to tape at 3am.

Best,
Fabian
