    Hi,

     

    Policies don't exist in Backup Exec 2012 anymore...not sure if they are making a return in BE 2012 R2 or not.

    If all your backups fit onto 1 tape, make sure your Append/OPP settings are correct to prevent the tape being accidentally overwritten, and then remove it from the drive. Store it elsewhere and you have your offsite configuration.

    Thanks!

    Thanks for response Craigv,

    I mean Job :), creation daily Jobs for all servers fit on one Tape, but what is the best bractice to force BE to use one Tape daily, you know that I will have more than one tape in the Daily pool media set, and may the be use tape X for the job1 and Tap Y for the job2 ,...etc.

    Thanks,
