Question about "eject the media after job complete" option
Hi guys,
Finally I've understood BE2012. It took 2 weeks but my backups are (almost) running fine.
I have a server group with 7 Servers that I need to backup and I'm using a Dell TL2000 library. All my jobs are scheduled to 9 pm and I have setup them using the "Add Backup Jobs By Method" option, so each job will create the daily/weekly/monthly backups.
The only question I have is how do I eject the media after all servers' backup are complete? If i check the "eject the media after job complete" option on each job, will it request a tape for each server or eject after the last server has been backed up?
Thanks!
The eject option is for stand alone (non-library) drives.
Libraries move tapes from drives to slots and vice-versa as part of their operation (so no special jobs needed) If you want to get the tape out of the library and the library has a mailslot then you use an Export job.
EDIT If the library does not have a mailslot then any operations have to be done using the library software, or front panel.
