Hello fll,

Not true. You can add tape server in Veeam Community edition and use File to Tape jobs for free.

Cheers!

Hi,
How would it be? Adding a server?
There is no option to manage Tape Servers.
Would Backup to Tape Server be allowed?

Thank you.

Most likely, you have Tape Infrastructure tab hidden in UI, so you need to click on double arrows in the left corner and check Tape Infrastructure there.

Then, go to Tape Infrastructure and select Add Tape Server.

Backup to Tape jobs are not available in Community Edition, only File to Tape jobs are.

Thanks!
