Hi,
I want to remove the backup to disk file after the content has been written to tape (by policy B2D2T), how do I make sure I delete the file which will be created during the start of the backup to disk action ?

thanks

Hello,
Put a overwrite protection only for the period that it takes to duplicate to tape, after which the tape will become overwritable and be automatically used for the backups that follow.

I believe the goal here is to delete the backup from disk (not tape), after it has been duplicated to tape.

Create an Erase job, and schedule it to occur after the backup completes.

The file itself will remain - BE creates virtual media for B2D operations - but the data in it will be gone.
