Duplicate to Tape Definition?

AmadeusJHB

Hi all,

Have just bought and added an Ultrium LTO6 Tape device to my BE 2015 server. I have a B2D schedule with multiple servers running to an iSCSI target on NAS but now I've added the LTO to ship tapes offsite and tick the offsite copy box in the company backup structure.

My question is regarding the added stage to the existing backup job definitions currently working for each server to duplicate to tape. The BeAdmin.pdf guide has nothing I can find on this.

I have two options when adding the tape duplication stage...which I need clarity on...

Option 1 - According to Schedule

Here it seems is the only option to duplicate ALL backups.

Option 2 - Duplicate Data immediately after source task completes.

Here is seems I can only duplicate my full OR my incrementals.

My desired duplication tasks...

I want to load a tape on Friday for the week to capture friday Full and weekly incrementals for the week.

So I've set the following settings...

  • Duplicate according to schedule
    • Source: All Backups
    • Schedule: Days (Mon-Fri at a specified time)

Will this have the desired affect of duplicating ALL backups to the tape? Tape is part of a media set to append before overwriting. I just need to confirm all the servers will fit onto the tape or else it could overwrite later in the week.

Thanks in advance...
