Hi all,
I am trying to create "permanent backup" strategy in arcserve, but it seems that this software is not very well suited for that purpose. I have a tape library with autochanger and 20 slots.
This is what I am trying to accomplish:
1. Define groups of tapes which would keep different kind of data (images, videos...). It is important not to mix the data on the same tape.
2. Once written, data should never be purged from database or overwritten on tape.
3. All jobs would be manual full backups (I don't need rotation or scheduling) which would append data in to the selected tape group.
Is this possible to accomplish with arcserve?
I was looking into Media pools, but it seems that they are suited only for rotation or GFC schemes. Any advice would be appreciated.
