Backup Exec supports GRT backups to tape but while performing GRT restore you need to stage the

tape backups to disk.

GRT backup will be enabled for full and incremantal  exchange backup ?

Ahmed: GRT is GRT...so yes. When you restore, you select the date you want to restore from. You don't worry whether or not the date in question was a Full/INCR backup.

You can shortcut the whole process by staging to disk manually and then restoring from there. Ideally you should do your GRT-based Exchange backups to disk if you have the space, and then duplicate to tape.
