We are running BE2012 doing daily incremental backups to a local SAN and Weekly, Monthly, and Yearly backups to Tape which are stored offsite. My question is, if our data center were to burn down, we lose the Backup Exec server and we need to recover...

One question I have is how do we tell which drive should be retrieved from off site storage? When we were using tapes, I could go in and look at offline media and see if the overwright protection period had expired. How do I do that using the above m...
