Backup to Disk & Backup To Tape

[James_Seay]

Is it possible to backup to disk and to tape at the same time using Backup Exec 10 for Windows. Currently I have a backup to disk job running and want to create a job to backup to tape.

Yes, it's called Duplicate -- however it's not backing up to both medium at the same time. A duplicate job will follow a backup job and duplicate it to tape. The great thing about this, is then you can restore directly from tape.

Thanks for the response is this true if you are trying two different jobs. In other words backup server1 to tape and server2 to disk but at the same time.

HI,

Yes it is possible to run two jobs simulatenously as long as the target device is different.
