Hello and thanks for reading,
I have been using BE 9.1 using disk to disk and now i want to make a job using our tape drive to "back up the backup" as it were.

I've got a Dell Powervault 122T and 40 gig tapes. Right now im only needing to back up about 87 gigs but that can climb. My robotic library is set but what im curious about is actually creating the job. I read something about drive pools and cascading pools but im not sure about them.

I was thinking of running a weekly dif back up and a once a month full back up.

Any tips or steps would be great, thanks!
