Maximize Tape Utilization in Backup Exec 2014 - DELL PV 124T (LTO5)
Hi,
I have noticed for one of our newer BE servers that tapes aren't being fully utilized.
LT00006 - used from Dec 19 to Dec 27 (983GB out of 1.39TB)
LT00007 - used from Dec 29 to Jan ...
- If you appending to the tapes then increase your AP, so that more jobs can append to them
AP begins when the tape is first overwritten by a job and is the when the AP expires (blocking further appends) is fixed until you overwrite the tape again.
OPP (Overwite Protection Period) however does move around as it is fixed to the last write to the tape (so the end of the last backup set created on it)
