Hi
We are using Veeam B&R v11. We have two sites one in a remote Datacentre, on On-Prem
The Datacentre houses the majority of servers, mainly Hyper-V VMs. The on-prem site is where the tape drive is located.
The datacentre backup are written to a repo also in the datacentre, with backup copies going to an on-prem repo
The on-prem backup are written to an on-prem repo, with backup copies going to a datacentre repo
We would like to write backups from the Datacentre jobs, AND on-prem backup jobs to the tape drive that resides on-prem
When we create a Tape backup job and choose the backups to write to tape, it only shows the local backup jobs.
Is there a method we could use to backup the both the datacentre backups and on-prem backups onto Tape.
thanks
Noz

Re: Backup to tape from Remote site
my guess is the remote site is a separate VBR server, which is why you are not seeing those backups

Re: Backup to tape from Remote site
Indeed it is. I'm looking for a solution on how to backup-to-tape of both on-prem and datacenter backups. Any suggestions would be welcome.

@nozmac I have similar setup and I use File2Tape job to write backups to tape made by another VBR server.
This job looks for new files on NAS share and write them to tape as increments.

Re: Backup to tape from Remote site
yes, file-to-tape is the most common workaround. the alternative would be to consolidate everything to one backup server
