How can I create a Tape Job to airgap daily veeam jobs

Post by sdelacruz »

I am looking configure a Tape Backup Job that will allow me to move all me veeam files daily to tape but I would like to eject the tapes every day.
Have a Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday.... tape and insert it in the morning, move veeam files to tape then eject it the next day.
Is this possible? I have tried creating Daily Media Pools but that did not work for me.

Daily backups to tape are possible with Veeam. What exactly didn't work in your case?

My job kept failing because the tapes were out of the library. I am not sure how to accomplish this. My goal is to have all my veeam files on tape and each day take them out daily. Put a blank tape each day. have copy of fully air gapped veeam files.

Have you inventoried all your tapes at least once in Veeam and added them to your media pool? Would you mind posting the error message of your tape job?

I deleted my jobs and started from scratch.
I will run this job during non backup hours (7:00 am to 6:00 PM).
Since I have a 2 Tape Library I plan to divide the amount of jobs so they run together
I also created a Daily Media set with LTO8 tapes. I will be inserting a Daily tape to see the behavior.
