Hello,
I think I have to be more precise in formulating what I want to understand - again:
Help greatly appreciated !Ok, I have a robotic library for the first time in use. Now I have created a bunch of backup-jobs and what I am not sure about is how to manage these jobs; they run on a daily basis (some are full backups, other differential). I want to make sure that no data is overridden accidentally.
Therefore is the feature of the media write protection, I know. So, what I am not sure about is:
These jobs can each be defined as "overwrite media" or "append, if possible, then overwrite" etc. So what do I have to ? Do I define them as "overwrite", as they can't be overwritten because of the media write protection after the backup has been run ? Is the next job than automatically appended (on the same tape, as long there is enough space)? Because if I choose "append, if possible, then overwrite" I think it'll turn out that - as long there is
some free space on tape (doesn't matter how old and if the backup on this tape needs to be kept or not) , it'll be appended and not much space will be left soon.
I hope I could explain where I whant to go, again, I'm thankful for any advice !
