I have Backup Exec 8.5 running on Win NT4 servers, I have a job that runs on the first Saturday of each month to back all data and OS. I have a Compaq MSL5026 tape library with 2 heads.
When my backups ran this month 1 tape filled with 3 server backups but the other 3 servers all grabbed their own tape from the scratch bin so I have 3 110 Gig tapes with small backups on them. is there a way to transfer these small backups of 20 thru 50 Gigs to a single tape to consolidate for long term storage? I do not have an extra server to restore to so I could do another backup and append them.
Thanks for your time
Toddah
