Mediaset Naming/stamping Question

Post by DKMRHolm »

Hello community,

I thought that I understood how a GFS media pool works but it seems I need to get some clarification 8)

I am trying to write documentation on which tapes to remove from the library each week and I thought that simply taking out all tapes created the previous week would suffice but yesterday I noticed that the mediaset name has not been updated on tapes used this week. The tapes used this week were all reused; ie. two of them were also used for a weekly mediaset created on 2022-01-08. We keep 4 weekly backups so I get that the tape will be reused but why aren't the tapes stamped with a new mediaset name?

Veeam is version 11.0.1.1261 P20211211

Hello,
just guessing... did you set the "Append backup files to incomplete tapes"?

Best regards,
Hannes

Hello Hannes,

Good guess...yes, it is set. I have, wrongly, assumed that each weekly set is a completely separate entity, even with this setting enabled. I thought that enabling this would just make sure that each tape in the weekly set would be filled to the brim.

Thank you for clarifying this.
