Export full backup on tapes

Post by mascac »

Hello,

I have a daily backup job that stores both incremental and full backups on disk media and a set of tapes labeled "Daily Tapes". Full backups are performed every Saturday.

I would like to make a copy of the Saturday full backups to another set of tapes labeled "Weekly Tapes", so i can export them easy.

Hi mascac, welcome to the forums.

Few options for you here:

1. Tape GFS: Configure both Daily and Weekly backups, or just Weekly backups from the same job. The Tape GFS job will create a full on tape regardless of what kind of restore point source job made (full or incremental)
2. Backup to Tape job allows you to set different media pools for Full and Incremental backups. Keep in mind however, that incremental backups depend on fulls, so you will need tapes from both sets.
3. Create a separate Backup to tape job that runs after the Saturday full backup

A lot of flexibility here and it mostly depends on your preference for managing your tape-out scheme.
