Re: Free and Expired Tapes
Hi Jack
Free Tapes:
- Tapes without any content
- Tapes where you manually mark as free. After you marked it as free, Veeam will remove catalog information from it's database about the content of this tape.
Expired Tapes:
- The tape is expired but has still the data (files or backups) on it. When the tape job runs again, it will use the expired tape if it's online before using a free tape. The tape gets overwritten.
