How can i configure NetBackup to eject tapes to one of the two slots which are free? We want to write our monthly Backups on one Tape and then eject this tape and insert a new one. We're using NBU 7.0.1 on x86!
Thanks for your help!
Regards, Martin
You can either script ejects as per above post, or purchase the NetBackup Vault option.
NBU Vault allows you to create profiles based on specific selection criteria. You can the create policies to automate the Vault profiles.
To automatically inject tapes and update NBU config when you insert tapes in the CAP, add AUTO_UPDATE_ROBOT to vm.conf (/usr/openv/volmgr) on the Robot control host. Restart NBU for entry to take effect.
