Hi,
I have tried to read all the possible methods in this forum how to assign task to backup to the tape. But I unable to proceed further.
Kindly need someone to guide me,as is my 1st time to do this.
I using IBM autoloader tape library and my backup exec is 12.5
I have created one job schedule that backup my data daily from monday to friday.
In my tape library, i got five tape that label from monday to friday.
I have created 5 partitions.
Is it possible that one job schedule to backup to individual tape?
I want:
= monday data to go to monday tape
= tuesday data to go to tuesday tape
= or the way to friday.
Then repeat the process again.
Kindly give me advice how to do it.

As Pkh suggested you can create the media set 6 days opp and 0 days append
so every week the same tape would get overwrtten
In tools --option --Media mangement
make sure you have the correct options selected to overwrite recylable media before scratch media .
Set the backup to overwrite the tape when it Runs ..
Once you Start iplementing the stratergy move all the tape to Scratch media and then let the job run accoring to schedule and check if it picks of the new tape every day .
But still creating partition is is good option to archive a backup job to write on a particular tape ...
And creating multiple job would be easy as you just need to copy the same job and change the name for the job and the pariton ..

If you Create media set with correct overwrite protection period and append period ,you just have to create one Job .
But you need to keep an eye on you backups that is writes to the correct tape .

If you want to have one day's data on one tape, then you should set
OPP = 5 days
APP = 1 hour
In the job properties, under Device and Media, set When this job begins to Overwrite Media
