Hi all,
I have an SDLT tape drive directly connected to a server, which gets backed up Mon-Fri (Mon-Thur are differentials, Friday is full), in another backup job is another server not directly connected to the tape drive which is backed up the same way as before except the Full backup is Thursday.
The problem is, that the SDLT tape drive usually ejects after a backup is complete, I stopped it from doing that to allow the 2nd backup get its job done but it seems to overwrite the media on the tape.
I was hoping there was a way to have a differential backup of one server and a full backup of another, in the same job, because the Full backup of both servers is too large for one tape and we aren't here out of hours to change it.
Any ideas?
