I have only a little bit of experience with backup and robotic tape libraries. Our tape drive holds up to 8 tapes. I have 5 in there now and run a backup every week night. On friday's I want to take out the friday tape only and send it off to our offsite storage. The problem is i don't know how or if you can make the backup run to a specific tape each night. I could setup different jobs for each night and create different media sets but thats too complicated. Our tapes hold over 200 gig each so we can fit all our stuff on one tape easily.
Can i tell the job to start on tape 1 on mondays and have it go to the next tape the next day through friday. Is this even possible?
