HP Ultrium LTO. Capacity 400 GB. I'm trying to back up about 250 GB of data. When it stops it
I changed the Overwrite protection period to 6 days and the Append period to 1 day on the Media Set settings.
My last good backup was this past Friday. The properties on that tape say;
General
Overwrite Protection Until:7/17/2009 4:54:30 AM
Appendable Until: Not Appendable
Statistics
Hours in Use: 21.6
Data: 239.47 GB
Used Capacity: 178.7 GB of 195.8 GB
Available capacity: 17.07 GB
Total Capacity: 195.8 GB
Compression Ratio: 1.3:1
Bytes Written: 463.5 GB
Bytes Read: 357.8 GB
Mounts: 20
Seeks: 208
I think my confusion lies in the relationship between apend and overwrite.
The tape I have in now is labeled "Monday". The properties on this one are;
General
Overwrite Protection Until: Overwritable
Appendable Until: Not Appendable (Media Full)
Statistics
Hours in Use: 20
Data: 250.25 GB
Used Capacity: 188.3 GB of 195.8 GB
Available capacity: 7.41 GB
Total Capacity: 195.8 GB
Compression Ratio: 1.3:1
Bytes Written: 370.8 GB
Bytes Read: 369 GB
Mounts: 24
Seeks: 202
I have another concern now. I run two jobs on the same tape. The one we've been discussing is called Daily. The other one I run is called Exchange. The second job is backing up data on a totally different server. Not much data there comparatively speaking (its about 4 GB). My question is will the second job completely overwrite the first one now that the the Media Set is overwritable?
