Cannot set 0 Append time in BE 2015...?
When creating a Meda set In Backup Exec 2010 R3, I am able set my append to 0 hours.
However, in BE 2015 it will not let me set 0 Hours!!! The lowest number I can put is 1 Hours. Why is this?!?...
As previously advised, for AP = 1 hour, once an hour has passed since the tape was overwritten, the tape would not be appendable. As I said earlier, most proper backup jobs would take longer than 1 hour so AP = 1 hour should not present a problem. Also, you can set your job to overwrite.
For me, I never set AP = 0 even when I am using BE 2010 or earlier. I can't quite recall the details, but I did run into some problems with AP = 0.
