BE15 Not using all the Tapes to back up
Hi, We have two LTO6 tape drives (4 tapes in total 6-1 to 6-4). We run a full backup to disk, then a dup to tape. On the days when i do a full backup, I inventory the tapes then erase them so they are empty. I have set up the jobs to use one storage pool and the LTO6 drives to use as the backup needs to (not allocated to a drive as such). Came in this morning and 6-1 tape was out of the drive and BE requesting insert new tape. The 6-1 tape was full but the drive 6-2 had2.01TB (out of 2.27TB), but 6-3 and 6-4 had hardly been touched? Whey would BE not use the other available tapes? Have made sure the drives are available in device manager etc. Thanks in advance.
Backup Exec 15 to AWS Tapes
Hey all, I've setup backup exec to backup our 2 weekly jobs to AWS tapes. It's been working fine the last few weeks. Each backup going to individual tapes. This past weekend, both jobs went to the same tape. I would like to set it so that it uses individual tapes so if i need to recover in the future, I dont have to pull down the entire weeks data and save on download costs. Can you please explain how i can set it up? Thanks
