What is the retention period for Annual backup
Dear Support, What is the retention period I need to set for my Yearly backup to Tape. (Media set propeties please see the screenshot attached). Retention perid/ overwrite protection period / Append period. Please note this a one time backup only. Backup to Tape drive (LTO6) The purpose of this backup is to keep every year a copy of that year's backup in a seperate LTO Tape. (This is not going to overwrite). This is only for future use in case management needed any files from previous years. I need a proper retention policy to keep for these kind of backups. Thank you.
Simple Tape rotation question
I just took over the Backup Exec environment and had a simple question about tapes and rotating them through the system. We do a monthly backup and those tapes are kept for 2 years per our retention rules. So I have older tapes that are cycling out of the retention period that I would like to reuse. For the backups we use a Monthly backup media set. What would be the best operation for reusing these tapes in the monthly backup media set?
