Hi,
I have just taken over the backups from someone who has left the company (I havn't had anything to do with this before) and I’m not sure which tape I need to remove after running a full Friday backup (these tapes will then be sent off-site)
We are using ARCserve v9.0 (build 2020) on a Windows 2000 Server with a Plasmon Autoloader.
When checking the Job Record, under the media section it lists the following…
Media Name: FRIDAY
ID: 1A63
Seq. # 3
Serial No. 1900000
So do I remove all the tapes with the ID: 1A63 (This includes 3 tapes all of which were formatted during the Job) or just the one with the Serial 1900000? Logically I would say that all 3 tapes would need replacing as they all seem to have been used, however I want to make sure.
Also when I add a blank tape, does it need to be formatted first or will ARCserve come to do this when it uses it?
Thanks for the help
