Using the scratch tape while backup is running.
Hi,
We have the following details :-
1. Two Hyper-V server (Windows 2008 R2).
2. BE 2012 SP1 on Windows 2008 R2.
3. Tape Library (Single Drive).(24 slots)
4. Storage (EMC VNXe 3100).
We have partitioned the tape library where two slots on each partition.
Now , my query is as follows:-
We have a policy where we are using a particula partiion of the backup destination location. And we have one tape on to the slot (Among the two slot), I mean to say that the each partition is having one tape.
When I excute the backup policy we found that the tape which its was using to take backup got filled and As I told We have one tape in each partition, now Will this work if I put a scratch tape in to the seconf slot of that partition on the fly (in mioddle of job running).
Or
I need to stop the entire backup jos and put more tape and start the backup once more.
OR
I need to change the tape form that particula slot and use a scratch tape on to the same slot on the fly(when backup jos is running).
Thanks.
