Hi,
Sorry for the delay in replying.
In a word, no, I am still unable to achieve what I want.
There seems to be no way of telling a backup job to use a specific TAPE and a specific DRIVE. The partitions allow me to select a slot in the device (which contains two drives) but I cannot create a partition that relates to a particular drive (rather than the device).
All I want is for one of my backup jobs, which spans two tapes, to use the second drive (all other backups point at the first, so the jobs can run concurrently) and the correct two tapes for the job. Media Sets doesn't allow me to do this, and, as I said, I cannot seem to do it any other way.
Would it be safe to say that Backup Exec simply doesn't provide this functionality? If so, I find that astonishing.
Thanks
Phil.
