Hi Wayne
Yes, GFS media pools with Backup To Tape jobs is the way to go.

Yes that was my thinking, and just to confirm with V12 incrementals can be moved to GFS pools, no need for a standard pool

Yes. You will have to enable and specify the daily mediaset:
Enable daily media set: https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/backu ... ml?ver=120
Specify tapes for daily media set: https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/backu ... ml?ver=120
The job will then write incremental backups to those tapes. I recommend to set the tape retention for the daily media set to 5-6 days. Having 7 days could lead to the tape not yet expired the following week when the job starts.
