Hi,
How to configure a media rotation for an autoloader so that it is able to perform a FULL backup at 1 tape per day. i.e. slot 1 - monday, slot 2 - tuesday, slot 3 - wednesday, up to slot 6 - Saturday. I have more than 1 schedules per day.
I'm using Backup Exec 8.5 and using HP SureStore Autoloader.
Currently, I configured with the "Media Rotation Wizard" and placed all the tapes into the rotation slots. However, the tapes were all backed up at the same tape everday. They were configured with "Infinite Append" and "No overwrite".
Do I need to placed them in the scratch media?
Will configuring the partitions for the autoloader solve the problem?
I'm quite confused with the days append and days overwrite after reading the documentations.
Thanks.
