Multiple App Tape

[handian.sudianto]

Hello

Currently my tape used for files level backup using other backup tools.
Now i want to change the backup from files level to image level using veeam.
I have question, can one tape which connected to baremetal server used for multipe appliaction such as veeam and other backup tools?
I want keep other backup tools to recover old file if needed until all VMs already backup by veeam.

Hi Handian,

Please see our User Guide section here for Supported Configurations.

In short, it will not be possible as the two softwares will "fight" for access to the tape hardware.

If your tape hardware supports library partitioning, you can create a dedicated partition to separate them, but you still will need to ensure only Veeam's Tape Service is running on the Tape Server.
