Back up to disk

nugator
Level 4

Daily Backup (incremental) and Weekly (full) = Backup to Disk

Weekly the Fullbackup bkf-Files on Tape

When the disk is nearly full, the oldest bkf_Files will be deleted and with the file the information which file to restore is in which bkf-file.

How can I hold the information ?

I was hoping that one of our BE experts would reply by now...

What you are planning is NOT best practice - you should configure BE jobs to backup to disk with limited retention and automatically duplicated to tape. 

See this article: 
Reasons why backing up or copying backup to disk data files is NOT recommended

There are also a number of forum posts about the same topic (there are many more than these two):

Thanks for your reply.

I will change the jobs.
