We currently have a CallPilot with older release 2 running on a 1002 server. We are upgrading to a new 1005 sever and release 5 software. My question is will the back-up media we use on the 1002 ( think they are SLR 50 tapes 25 0r 30 GB )work on the 1005 server or do we need the larger tapes?

Syatem Back-up Question
- Thread starter Ski123
- Start date
A Full System Backup on my 1005r is 21 GB, so as long as you have a compatible tape drive in the CP server, the 25 GB tape should work.
FWIW I haven't used a backup tape in years. The drives need constant cleaning, the tapes can be flaky, and it is just too convenient and fast to backup to a Network Drive. (My 2 cents)

I agree with allenmac. Also your upgrade will go a lot faster if you backup to a network location and perform your restore from that location. When we do an upgrade, we always perform a backup to both a network location and to a tape. Then when we perform the restore, we use the network backup. We have the tape on hand for a redundant backup.
