Hi,

I'm trying to make de backup system work correctly (the previous admin did not suceed). We have a DLT7000 Tape Autoloader that contains 7tapes (one for each day of the week). Actually, we do a Full backup (~50Gb) each night (I plan to chan,ge that later). My question is :
Do I need to use Media pool ? what are the benefits ?

In my 'device group configuration', I have 'Group 0' and 7 devices (called bck-monday, bck-tuesday etc.)
Each day, I have to tell Arcserve which tape to use. In each job, if I leave Media : *, i'll get a message telling me to insert blank disk when backup starts. I've read that I just have to QuickFormat the tapes and that should be ok. I'm I right ?

Thanks for all
Chag
