Multitape Backup

[mperriello]

Do you have to do anything special to setup a backup that will run onto a second tape if you are scheduling a backup job using a single tape drive? [sig][/sig]

The only thing necessary is to be sure you have another tape that is blank or in a scratch pool. You will not be able to pause the backup to erase a tape. It automatically goes to another tape if needed. [sig][/sig]

Also remember to check in the backup options for how long the backup job will wait for the second media to be inserted. [sig][/sig]
