I have loaded a new Master Server and recreated all my policies. Backups are working great except they are taking up a lot of space. When I explore deeper, I see that I am getting multiple full backups all day long, not during off hours as I thought I pre-established. When I set up the policies, I told netbackup to do full backups every 3 weeks and retain for 2 months. But I am seeing multiple full backups in the same day, and then every day. I scheduled the backups for off hours, but the program runs and backs up all day.
Do I need to change my scheduling and set specific times for the backups?
A suggestion was to only do full backups on weekends and incrementals through the week.
Need a recommendation as to what I did wrong in the set up scheme.
Thanks
