Improve tape job configuration

Post by matteu »

Hello,

The setup is :
VSA on 13.1 last build
10 Backup to object reposiroty (All VM are backup 1/day) (start from 8PM to 2 AM)
10 backup copy to Veeam infrastructure appliance (linux hardened)
1 Backup to tape (1 Quantum library i3 scalar 2 drive LTO8 + GFS used with 7daily + 4 weekly (sunday) + 12 monthly (3rd day of the month) and Parallel processing is enabled for 2 drives.). This backup to tape job includes all backup jobs. This jobs is executed at 3AM after I'm sure all backup job completed.

There is arround 37TB for the full
It takes more than 24H at least to backup. (It's arround 250MB/s it's arround 22TB/day)

1) Is there a way to have the weekly + monthly on the same tape or not ? Bacause now, I have monthly + weekly on different days today...

2) My backup to tape jobs are cancelled because : " Synthetic full Stopped by job 'Foreign transform' (Transform)". That means if I understand correctly the next backup job is executing and it causes the tape to job to crash because I don't want to check "Prevent this job from being interrupted by source backup jobs" on my tape jobs because I want my backup job RPO 24H to always be compliant. Is there a technical solution for it or I just need to add more drive/ library to be able to reduce the backup to tape windows ?
