Will BE span two external USB Travan Tape Drives?

Geoffrey_Singer

We have a small office with a single SBS 2003 server. It is running Exchange and SQL Server. There is currently a single Certance Travan 40 external USB tape unit running the included Yosemite TapeWare software (7.00 SP7D).

We are contemplating the purchase of BE 10d Premium and adding a second external Travan 40. Can BE be configured to span the tape drives (jump to the second when the first is full)?

Pre-sales was a little fuzzy on this and suggested this forum.

Thanks in advance.

Should be no problem, as long as they are the same type and capacity

Define a Cascaded Drive Pool, then point the job(s) to that pool rather than "All Pools"
