Finally, if Retrospect cannot find either the named member or new or erased media, it displays the media request window and the operation stops until the media request is fulfilled. Since New Member backups use an existing Backup Set, they only copy new and changed files since the last backup.
The backup administrator wants to set up a specific workflow that involves backing up to a different tape each day of the week, regardless of whether or not the tape fills up. Furthermore, the administrator wants to save time and media space by backing up only new and changed files each day rather than doing a new, full backup each day.
On Friday, he runs a Recycle backup, which resets the Backup Set, allowing the process to start over again on Monday. This is an example of how the New Member backup feature could be used. When Retrospect performs a Recycle backup , it clears the Catalog File contents if any of the Backup Set so it appears that no files are backed up. Then it looks for the first media member of the Backup Set and erases it if it is available. Everything selected from the source is backed up to the Backup Set.
The backup administrator decides the Catalog File is getting too large after a month of Normal backups to the Backup Set. She starts a Recycle backup with the first media member in the backup device and Retrospect resets the Catalog File, erases the files on the media, and copies all the selected files.
This allows the original Backup Set and its Catalog File to remain intact for long-term storage in a safe place. Retrospect replaces references to the old Backup Set in scripts and schedules with the new Backup Set name. The backup administrator wants to rotate a Backup Set off-site, so she starts a New Backup Set backup with a new or erased medium in the backup device.
Retrospect creates a new Backup Set with a new Catalog File, and copies all the selected files to the media. The previous Backup Set remains intact and the administrator takes its media to a secure location off site.
Retrospect uses a separate Catalog File usually stored on your hard disk to keep track of the all the files in a Backup Set. The Catalog File lets you quickly search for files including older versions of backed up files without having to actually search the backup media itself.
The Catalog File is an index or table of contents of the files on the backup media of a Backup Set. The Catalog File lets you view the contents of a Backup Set without any of its media on hand.
A Catalog File is required for all operations which copy files to and from a Backup Set. Catalog Files typically use four megabytes of disk space for every ten thousand files. Because Retrospect does Progressive Backups, it may have several versions of a file scattered among several backup sessions within a Backup Set. A flat list of all versions of all the files in the Backup Set would be very confusing.
For this reason, among others, every time you back up, Retrospect places a Snapshot of the source volume in the Backup Set. A Snapshot is a list—you can think of it as a picture—of all files and folders on a volume when it is backed up. For each volume, one Snapshot is stored in the Catalog File and a copy of the same Snapshot stored on the backup medium tape, disk, cartridge, or CD. Following each successful backup or archive operation, the old Catalog File Snapshot is replaced but old media Snapshots remain untouched and Retrospect adds new Snapshots to the medium.
When you want to restore from a backup, you can tell Retrospect to use a Snapshot to restore the entire contents of a disk. Or, you can use a Snapshot as a guide to see the volume as it was at a given point in time when it was backed up, picking and choosing individual files to restore.
Snapshots allow you to perfectly restore each volume to its exact state at the time of any completed backup. Snapshots help Retrospect keep track of the volumes to which a file belongs. When Retrospect first backs up a volume to a new Backup Set, it copies the selected files and saves a Snapshot. When it subsequently backs up other volumes, it does not copy files that exactly match files already in the Backup Set.
This efficient storage saves backup media by not redundantly copying exactly matching files. You can retrieve Snapshots from media if you want to restore a volume, folder, or file as it was at any given backup. Because a Snapshot represents a volume at a specific point in time, you cannot use a Snapshot to find multiple versions of a file throughout different backup sessions on different dates.
However, Retrospect does provide an easy way of doing this, which is explained in Restoring by Search. The Retrospect application can back up any volume that can be accessed from the Windows Explorer or can be assigned a drive letter, whether it is a volume shared over a network or a drive connected directly to your computer.
Retrospect Clients can extend the backup and restore capabilities of Retrospect to other computers on your network. A computer equipped with Retrospect Client software is known as a Retrospect client computer, or simply a client.
Retrospect can back up clients on the network without the need for installing file servers, starting file sharing, or mounting volumes.
You could back up other computers on your network using Microsoft Networking, but this requires careful configuration of sharing, users, and permissions. Using Retrospect Client software to back up the same computers is much simpler: you install the client software once, then if that computer is turned on even if no one is logged in you can back it up over the network.
