hello,

I have a backup server running backup exec 12.5 and an HP Storage Works MSL4048 tape Library. I wa wondering how I setup different backup jobs to use different slots as the device has 48 slots. I want for example say for mondays backup to use say slot 1&2 and then Tuesday 3&4 and so on. Would appreciate any help with this.

thanks

...just to expand on the above...when you create your jobs, you then point them to those slots. It partitions your job. If you run out of tapes to use for a job, the job will immediately queue, and not move onto the next slot. You MIGHT want to consider partitioning 3 slots instead of 2 if you suspect that you may over-run.

Cheers!

Hello,

We can partition the Library slots and route the jobs accordingly.

http://support.veritas.com/docs/206843
How to partition and manage an Autoloader or a Robotic Library using Backup Exec 10.x, 11.x and 12.x

After partitioning the slots, we can select the target partition in backup job setup.

Hope this helps...
