Backup policy setting issue?
One nbu server with one tape librury and 24 slots. I created one volume pool named DataBackup.
I created one policy to backup my files to this volume pool with 3 tapes ( LTO4 ) , the retention was 2 weeks.
Everyday, I had 300GB data to write to tape,but tape was not full.
Now I want to write the 300GB data to tape, but one day one tape.
How to configure the policy?
I have no idea why you need a feature of BackupExec if you're using Netbackup.
Netbackup is meant for large (enterprise) data backup, which is normally out of backup admin's control. Micro-managing is really too much of a hassle.
If you really want to make sure "one day one tape", I think it's better you manage the (size of) data you backup.
