Multiple sets of backups, only want to backup last set to tape, how?

[mcadek]

I think I'm missing something obvious here.. so I backup my hyper-v servers to a NAS and I do full backups once a week, but I also keep several sets of these on the NAS. Pretty simple stuff... but my tape is not big enough to hold ALL of the sets so how can I create a job in hyper-v to only backup/copy/move (it's really just a copy job) the LAST SET of backups (1 week worth) to the tape? is there a way?

I feel like a dumbass for not being able to figure it out, there has to be a way! I feel like backup exec in 2007 could do it

Hi Martin and Welcome to Veeam R&D Forums!

You can select either to archive the latest chain only or all chains in a dialog that appears during tape job configuration, an example is described on this page (look under "Selecting Backup Chains to Archive"). You can just click "Latest" to continue.

Thanks!

thank you, I was doing file to tape and not backup to tape job, that I bet will solve my issue!
