Need help for Replication/Backup Policy
-
Hello,
I would like to implement the following backup/replication policy:
Replication of VMs every 6 hours on my second site
Backup of VMs every night at 10 PM, with retention of backups as follows:
-
Retention of the last 7 days
-
Retention of the last 4 weekends
-
Retention of the last 12 month-ends
What do you recommend?
Thank you for your help!

I'm a noob (or lower) with XenOrchestra, so take any suggestions with copious amounts of saltI think you would need to set up three separate schedules
- Monthly would take a backup on the first day of the month, with a retention of 12
- Weekly would take a backup every Sunday with a retention of 4
- Daily would take a backup Monday through Saturday with a retention of 6 - here is where I'd probably use delta backups
The downside to this is that it doesn't force the monthly backups to a weekend. You'll occasionally get a monthly full & weekly full happening on the same day.
It would be nice if it could use a single backup with multiple retention schedules like our current backup systems
