Hello All

A Costumer of us, has two question for Tape Backup (B&R 9.5 U3a).

1st

How does Veeam recognize when a Tape is broken and needs to be replaced from a Free Media?
- Which function do we need to configure, that we have this solution?

2nd

Can we skip specified Backup Job in a GFS Job?
If I have Weekly job on Sunday and also Monthly job on Sunday
- how can I skip the weekly job on a Sunday, which will do a Monthly Backup on the same day?

Thanks and regards

Hello Sinan,

How does Veeam recognize when a Tape is broken and needs to be replaced from a Free Media?

It happens automatically when Veeam B&R receives this information from the tape media chip.

how can I skip the weekly job on a Sunday, which will do a Monthly Backup on the same day?

If weekly and monthly backups are scheduled at the same day for the same amount of data backup will be placed only to the larger Media set automatically.
