Target repetition issue

[Richard Edward Horner]

Old thread, I know but it's in my drafts so I have to clear it out :)

Segregating backups happens frequently in production either due to
different rates of change to an application or because backing up the
database requires it to be offline (even if only for a minute while
you take an LVM snapshot) and so you can only do that once a week or
something, etcetera.

I think it's a good thing to test!

Thanks, Rich(ard)
