Yet another media set question
Sorry, I tried a search, but didn't turn anything up directly related to my current issue.
I recently upgrade backup exec from 9.1 to 12, and I also installed it on a different server and I can't seem to get the backups running the way they were.
I use a tape drive (LTO), and I typically run 2 backup jobs a day. I have 16 tapes, Mon-Fri week 1, and Mon-Fri week 2, and 2 extras. Each morning I come in and eject the prior days tape and put in the current day tape.
I use to run my one backup job every 3 hours (about 4 gigs in size), and my other job once at around 9 pm (40 gigs in size). It use to work fine, do mulptile backups of the one job, and one backup of the one bigger job. In fact, I could leave the Friday tape in, not change it on the weekends, and it would still be working on Monday.
In addition to that, I know everything was working correctly because I've had to do a restore (more than once lol), and when I go to pick the selection, I was given the option to choose from multiple jobs (from up to two weeks prior sometimes) without an issue.
Now, it seems, no matter how I set the media sets, I can only get one job on a tape, and if I try to run the other job (the bigger one) I get a message saying the tape has overwright protection on it, and can't be used. As of right now I have the medisoft job set to 2 days overwright protection with infinite append, and the clinician job set to 4 days overwright protection with infinite append.
CLIFFS:
So basically, I want to run two jobs a day; 1 called medisoft and I want it to run every 6 hours, and another job, called Clinician, once at night, but it all has to be on the same tape, and I would like the jobs to stay there as long as there is room on the tape before it overwrights. (I also would like to be able to do a bi-weekly system state job for my 3 servers on the tape that is in the tape drive on that particular day.)
