Make GFS tape backups use one tape

Post by AshB54 »

Hey

I am trying get our GFS backups to use only 1 tape, append onto another tape if required and then export the tape or tapes.

I have to set it to backup specific jobs as the backup repository has data in it that isn't required for our GFS backups but is required for our daily backups

This setup is currently using two tapes when the data can currently fit onto one tape

Is it as simple as setting the Drive usage option on the tape job to one drive?

Thank you

I believe so yes. If you have more than 1 drive setup, it will use both for faster performance writing the data
