Consolidate Backup Sets
I have a 4 tape drive library. At the moment, the jobs use all the drives, which is good, until I see bunches LTO5 tapes with 20GB or less on them. Not to fussed with the daily or weekly tapes but this is wasteful for monthly tapes.
Is there a way to consolidate all the small backup sets across the monthly media to a single tape of my choosing after the fact? I can't see where the duplicate backup set option will allow this.
- You can create a temporary media set, set the AP to a long time, put a single tape into this temporary media set and then have your jobs target this media set. This way they will all append too this one tape
