Old VBK's to Tape

Post by johntbbp »

Hi,

Is there a way to get old VBK's to tape via Veeam? I missed a couple of backup to tape jobs, hardware issues, and need to get them to tape.

Hi John

After missed backups because the tape library was offline, in the next tape session the most recent missed full backup for each media set will be written to tapes. If you have disabled the tape job while repairing your media drive, those backups will be skipped.
As a workaround, you could write a one time "File to Tape" job with all the VBKs (and optionally VIB files) to some tapes.

Best,
Fabian
