Exporting Tapes

[storageguy]

Hi,

I need some guidance here.

Our Media Pool is using the option to "always using current media set". We want to export the tapes automatically. We have three Backup to Tape jobs using the same media set.

My question is, If lets say one of the job gets completed, but the other two are still running. Does it mean that the tapes will be exported automatically and new media set will be created on another tape?

Thanks,

[Mildur]

Hi Storageguy

Allow me the question first, why not using a single job?
Is the goal to use different tapes?

Best,
Fabian

@Mildur. The reason is to have multiple tape jobs process at the same time, therefore quicker backup tape job time required. We have three tape drives in our library, so we want to maximize it.

Our intention is to export the tapes every Friday. So I'm wondering, if one of the job gets completed, but the other two are still running. Does it mean that the tapes will be exported automatically and new media set will be created on another tape?
