Environment

 

NBU Server = version 7

OS = win2008

 

I want to use 3 standalone tape drives with 4mm speed on single NBU Server so that i can make primary copy on first Tape Drive and second and third copy on second and third Tape drive. Is that possible ?

You may use all tape drives that can be seen by the O/S.

If all tape drives are of same type and connected to one backup server, you will create one STU of drive type and number of concurrent tape drives set to 3.

Please note that the default number of backup copies that are allowed is set to 2. If you want 3 copies, change the default in Master Server Host Properties -> Global Attributes.

you mean that the OS should detect these tape drives ? NBU is ready to handle all Tape Drives if OS is detecting ? ok
