I've been having and issue with BE 10.d. I run a full files weekly backup job on Friday nights. I also run a full SQL and full Exchange job. The total amount of data is approx 500GB. I'm using Dell Ultrium3 LTO tapes (400GB native/ 800GB compressed) My ideal setup would be to write the following week's incrementals to the same tape that has the prior week's full jobs on it. In a worse case scenario, I would like to write the following week's incrementals and full dailies to a different tape than the weekly fulls, but contained on one tape. (total of two being used) What is happening, however, is that once a duplicate Exchange and SQL jobs have written to tape, the Full Files job is still running to disk. When it finishes, it does not write to tape until i put a new tape. Then, the daily duplicates do prompt me to enter new media with each new dup job that runs. How can I get all my duplicate jobs to write to one tape? I understand that the size of the Full job duplicates may not allow for appending the following week's data but I still can't get the following week's dailies to write the duplicate jobs onto a tape that has more than enough space.
FYI, I've got "Append to media, overwrite if no appendable media is available" selected in the properties of each of my duplicate jobs.
