    BE 15 does have checkpoint/restart which allows you to restart jobs.

    You cannot delete specific backup sets from a tape.  The only way to erase a tape is to overwrite it, but this will erase everything on the tape.

    There is no guideline as to how big your job should be.  It is up to the installation to decide.  Having everything in one big job means less scheduling problems, but increases the risk of job failures.

Thats exactly what we are finding, the files are not really corrupt. 

 

Thanks for the advice. 

 

Just out of personal experience, what is maximum size jobs do you deal with? We find jobs hitting 2tb mark fail frequently, but we do get away with taking on 11-15 tb sometimes.
