I have recently added an IBM/Seagate internal 6 cartridge DAT autoloader to my server. I am running Arcserve 2000. Given the current state of my storage, I need 3 tapes to do a full nightly backup.

Can anyone give me guidance on using a 6 tape magazine to yeild two nights worth of backup. Also, I would like to add a cleaning cartridge to each end-of-week backup

Example:

Mag 1: Monday/Tuesday
Mag 2: Wednesday/Thursday
Mag 3: Friday 1 w/cleaning
Mag 4: Friday 2 w/cleaning
Mag 5: Friday 3 w/cleaning
Mag 6: Friday 4 w/cleaning

Monthly Mags would be loaded manually...

Is this doable in Arcerve 2000???
