Splitting? a Backup Job

[bhunji]

Hi,

I'm using ArcServe 11.0 on my server (Windows 2000-SP4).

My server takes 4 tapes to do a full back up, but as long as I get at least one full backup a week, its okay.

So I have been doing just a regular backup and tossing the next tape in each day. But recently they've started patching servers on Wednesday and sometimes this causes a reboot which makes the backup job crash.

One of my colleagues said there should be a way to have the backup job backup as much as it can to a tape, stop the job, then have the job reschedule itself and start from where it left off the next night. Is this possible? What is it called when you do that? I couldn't find anything in help when searching for splitting a backup job...

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

No, what you are asking for is not possible.

For the crashes you can try updating to r11.1 and the latest patch level (free downloadable patch). See here for more information:

Thanks, I'm downloading the r11.1 patch now.

Is there a free update available for 11.5 as well?

I was just thinking I should probably update to the latest if this is possible...

No r11.5 is not a free upgrade.
