Yearly GFS backup was inadvertently split; can I consolidate?

Post by DFLiddle »

Hello, all, and thank you for considering my situation: this past weekend, the GFS backup for the 'yearly' media set was unintentionally split between two tapes. Both of the tapes were assigned to the yearly media set. It probably happened because I didn't have a tape in the drive at quite the right time.

There was only one backup set (of seven) written to the first tape. Can I add/copy this single backup set to the second tape, which contains all of the other backup sets?

If not, it's not a big deal, because that set contains servers that I'm unlikely to restore from long-term storage; it's just the principle of the thing.

Hello David,

It's currently not possible to copy one tape to another, but this functionality will become available in upcoming Veeam B&R v11. Cheers!
