Export Backup to Tape

Post by aschultz@wcboe.org » 1 person likes this post

Hello,

This is a feature request to add tape as an option for the destination for exporting backups. Like to have tape as a last resort 'lifeboat' option that isnt reliant on any other component to be restored. If there is a better way to achieve this please feel free to elaborate.

Thanks,
Adam

Hi Adam

Thanks for your request. Let's see how many votes we get for it.

As a workaround:
The fastest way to bring a backup to tape would be exporting the backup to the same repository as the backup is stored. That Fast-Clone is used for the export. No additional space used, immediate export.
From that location, you can run a on-demand File To Tape Job to write the export to the tape.

Best,
Fabian
