Sounds like your fulls and your dailys have the same retention period, so they're using the same tapes.

A full backup is performed each weekend, after remaining on-site for two additional weeks the tape is sent off-site for two months. Because this new setup is putting all the backups on one tape if I were to send the tape off after two weeks following a full backup then all the dailies would be gone as well.

Because of that they shouldn't be taking the *same* tapes. Fulls, weeklys, and dailys should not be colocated on the same volume. I read your message as saying that after a full used a tape, the dailys would write to the same tape the next day.

Thanks for replying Darren. The daily backups have a rentention period of one month, the weekly full backups have a retention period of 2 months, the monthly fulls have a retention of one year. Because of this shouldn't they be taking new tapes??
