Catalog policy schedule considerations
When you work with catalog policy schedules, consider the following:
Schedule the catalog backups to occur on a regular basis. Without regular catalog backups, you risk losing regular backups if there is a problem with the disk that contains the catalogs.
The following backup types are supported:
Full
Differential incremental
This incremental schedule depends on a full schedule.
Cumulative incremental
The least frequent schedule runs if many schedules are due at the same time.
One catalog backup policy can contain multiple incremental schedules that are session-based:
If one is cumulative and the others are differential, the cumulative runs when the backup session ends.
If all are cumulative or all are differential, the first schedule that is found runs when the backup session ends.
The queued scheduled catalog backup is skipped if a catalog backup job from the same policy is running.
Session end means that no jobs are running. (This calculation does not include catalog backup jobs.)
The Vault catalog backup is run whenever triggered from Vault, regardless of whether a catalog backup job is running from the same policy.
